Brand Strategy, Identity & Design

We partner with clients working in three key areas:
● Innovation
How can we remodel systems, develop new technology to improve lives, and create a better future through innovative ideas?
● Sustainability
How can we improve our relationship with the planet, protect the environment, and implement sustainable design practices?
● Compassion
How can we cultivate inclusive communities, celebrate diversity, and create a more equitable society?

Arc Suncare
Many traditional sunscreens contain microplastics that often end up polluting oceans and harming marine life. Arc Suncare do things differently with their range of all-natural sunscreens that are safe for people and planet.
Arc Suncare is a mineral-based sunscreen made of zinc oxide – a compound that isn't widely used in sunscreen because of its thick opaque consistency.
Arc Suncare's specialised formula provides broad-spectrum protection with a uniquely clear, lightweight finish once rubbed in.
We typically associate sunscreen with beaches, holidays and getting out into nature. But day-to-day in the city, many of us overlook the importance of protection from the sun. Our task was to create a brand identity for eco sunscreen for use from city to seaside and anywhere in-between.
Our name 'Arc' is a subtle reference to the path of the sun as it moves across the sky. We incorporated this idea of circular trajectories into the geometry of our custom logotype.
We reflected the same circular geometry in a suite of icons that communicate how Arc Suncare is kind to skin and the environment.
Nick Prideaux brings our vision for the Arc brand world to life though his idyllic, laid-back photography – capturing light-filled moments that are natural, delicate and optimistic.

Our poetic messaging invites people to explore the city with more curiosity, with Arc Suncare providing natural UV protection wherever they go.
