The brief

Sustainable, without the sermon.

Adikart Solutions was launching a range of eco-friendly paper products - tissues, cups, carry bags and packaging - and needed a brand to carry them.

The category is crowded with leaves, greens and guilt. The business wanted something that felt modern and trustworthy to buyers first, with its environmental promise built in rather than painted on.

Doing right by the earth should look confident, not apologetic.

So we started with the name, then built a mark, a warm earth-and-sun palette and a pattern that could stretch from a business card to a tissue pack.

Brand NamingBrand IdentityCollateralPackaging Design

01 · Brand Naming

Earth, with ethics built in.

Earth

What it protects.

Where every product comes from, and where it goes back to.

Ethics

How it behaves.

How the business chooses materials, makes products and sells them.

Earthics

One word to own.

Easy to say, unusual enough to trademark, and wide enough for any product line.

02 · Brand Identity

Eight arrows, one point of origin.

The mark is an asterisk of arrows - half earth-brown, half sun-orange - pointing out to every market and back to one source. Every angle sits on a 45° grid with a single stroke width.

Pattern

The mark, unpacked into a texture.

Outlined arrows tile and turn across envelopes, bags and cups - recognisable even when the logo is out of frame.

03 · Collateral

Paper that practises what it preaches.

Business cards, envelopes, cups and carry bags - the pattern does the talking, the mark signs off.

04 · Packaging

A hundred reasons to pull another.

The first product to wear the brand: a 100-sheet napkin pack in 100% eco-friendly paper. Keep scrolling to pull a few.

The Earthics napkin pack: the front shows the logo, "Soft Tissues, 100 N, 100% eco-friendly paper" and four claims - soft, absorbent, hygienic and quality. The back lists product details and environmental guidance.
