  • CIRCA is a wellbeing and lifestyle brand dedicated to creating premium nootropic and functional mushroom supplements. Their mission is to foster a more conscious and connected world through the transformative power of mycology. The challenge was to create a cohesive brand identity, product and packaging design, and a website that embodied CIRCA's mission and values.

  • Collaborative Vision:

    • We collaborated closely with founders Lui and Josh to bring their vision to life. By incorporating themes of symbolism, wellbeing, and spirituality, we combined these elements with a sleek, modern design aesthetic to create a distinctive brand identity.

    Workshops and Discovery:

    • The KICO Collective held workshops to deeply understand and distill the mission and creative vision for CIRCA. These workshops were instrumental in developing the visual identity, social and marketing pillars, and key messaging for the brand.

    Design and Symbolism:

    • We focused on creating a brand identity that incorporates flowing patterns inspired by mycology and the dynamic nature of our emotions, energy, and environments. This design approach ensured that the brand felt both grounded in its mission and visually appealing.

    Product and Packaging:

    • The product and packaging design reflected the brand's premium nature and commitment to quality. We integrated modern design elements with symbolic references to mycology, ensuring that the packaging was both functional and visually striking.

    Website Development:

    • The website was designed to be a seamless extension of the brand identity, offering an engaging and intuitive user experience. It highlighted the brand's mission, product offerings, and the benefits of nootropic and functional mushroom supplements.

The Outcome

The new brand identity for CIRCA is a harmonious blend of symbolism, wellbeing, and modern design. By working closely with founders Lui and Josh, we infused their vision and passion into every aspect of the brand. The workshops facilitated by the KICO Collective were crucial in shaping the visual identity, social and marketing strategies, and key messaging.

The flowing patterns in the brand identity are inspired by mycology and reflect the ever-changing nature of emotions, energy, and environments. This unique design approach sets CIRCA apart in the wellbeing and lifestyle market.

The product and packaging design reinforce CIRCA's commitment to quality and premium nature, with sleek and modern aesthetics combined with symbolic references to the transformative power of mushrooms.

The website offers a cohesive and engaging digital presence, effectively communicating the brand's mission and showcasing its product offerings. CIRCA is now well-positioned to create a more conscious and connected world through the immense power of mycology, with a brand identity that truly embodies their mission and values.
