YelloUmbrello Identity
Crafting the brand identity for this new high-end chain of pet groomers, we knew we needed to shake things up with a dash of unexpected color and a playful, memorable and unique name. And of course it had to be damn cute, without that grooming kitsch with which we are all too familiar. While cats and dogs found a safe place under the yellow umbrella (yes, it's how we tricked them into getting a good wash), the brand atmosphere touchpoints found its differentiation through strong color and icon-language.
Yelloumbrello Naming
The name for this high-end pet groomer was derived from the notion of pets getting a good wash, which many canines don't list as their top ten things to do. The fun name YelloUmbrello defined how different the groomer was, while it also alluded to the franchising model (a brand umbrella). Most importantly though it created a sense of trust, ensuring pets were in a safe and clean environment. We also joyfully crafted the tongue-in-cheek tagline ‘Happiness is a pampered pet.'
