Hakuro is a Polish brand that manually produces

high-quality, natural and synthetic make-up brushes.

Their competitive advantage is the ability to stack natural bristles,

giving the effect of exceptional softness. Hakuro's brush production process

is close to the traditional one cultivated in Japan, hence the brand's inspiration

with the culture of the The Land of the Cherry Blossom.

The aim of Hakuro's rebranding was to adapt the brand image

to the quality of the products that were carefully refined

over the ten years of the brand's existence.

The oblong form of the letters in the new logotype refers to the layouts often found

in Japanese visual culture: vertical formats or typography, the IKI structure,

which is a preference for slender regular vertical lines.

The logotype is reproduced in various techniques in minimal sizes on the brush handles, from pad printing to engraving, hence, among other things, the lack of contrasts between the elements of lettering signs, which should in all circumstances reflect the original vector drawing. Letters that are apparently of one thickness differ slightly from each other in order to optically balance the weight of the sign.

The subject of the project was also to design the key visuals for each product line.

Two – intended for amateurs of makeup, and one for professional customers.

Each line received its own packaging, markings, pictograms,

photo sessions and new packshots of all brush models.

Brushes are now packed in unit packages with four dimensions adapted

to the size of individual models. Each one of them is made of FSC® certified paper.

Inserts holding the brushes inside protect the bristles from deformation.

Hakuro H is the first and the longest-polished brush line. It currently consists of 28 models that allow to make a complete make-up, both daytime and evening. This series uses classic shapes of handles and high-quality natural and synthetic bristles. The photoshoot of the H brushes was inspired by the footprints combed in the sand of the Zen gardens.
