SERENU

Brighten Your Own Light

SERENU

SERENU is a lifestyle brand that discovers the unique beauty in an individual based on skincare and enhances the individual’s life further. SERENU, which is excellent for general skincare and for treating problematic skin such as acne and scars, is like a haven where you can relax and heal from the stress you have in the city. SERENU believes that all people are as precious as the star with their own orbit. SERENU’s customers are those who pursue their own beauty. They seek the way of life that suits them the most based on an understanding of themselves, not just external beauty. Like countless stars shining in the night sky, SERENU provides a premium skincare experience that perfectly suits their characteristics and an emotional healing experience that increases the satisfaction of life for those who have their own character and unique beauty.

The project's goal was to deliver a consistent brand experience at various customer contact points by establishing the identity as a premium lifestyle brand, which restores the beauty that customers have in them and raises the quality of everyday life through a verbal and visual identity system. It was essential to positively improve customers’ brand awareness by reflecting the core value of enhancing the satisfaction and quality of life by enhancing an individual's inner and outer beauty in developing brand assets. The main goal of this project was to share a delicate and elegant brand experience with customers within a consistent context by creating a verbal brand identity through naming, slogan, and brand story based on the brand’s core values and developing a visual identity of minimal, classy tone and manner.

YNL Design straightened up the message the brand wanted to convey through verbal brandings, such as brand name, slogan, and brand story and developed a brand design concept based on the message. SERENU’s brand name is an abbreviation of the Latin word ‘Serenus,’ which means ‘to shine brightly,’ and it captures the value of a skincare brand that carefully examines the beauty and character of customers and helps customers have beautiful skin and life. The brand slogan and design concept, BRIGHTEN YOUR OWN LIGHT, intuitively conveys the brand philosophy, which is to provide a light that illuminates customers' lives, emphasizing a balanced lifestyle that makes life beautiful and improves the quality of life beyond simple skincare. We designed the BI based on the brand definition, a luxurious lifestyle that realizes the unique beauty both outside and inside and enhances the quality of life. The symbol of SERENU means enabling a healthy and balanced life by combining two core services: skincare and mind care. The “S” expressed in the negative space represents the inner satisfaction provided by the brand, and the “S” expressed in the positive space represents the external beauty. The refined logotype with ornamental elements eliminated maximizes a modern sensibility. In addition, white, which means clear skin, and classy and elegant black are used with minimal gray to deliver a neutral and sophisticated brand image.
