SPEKL
P.O.P. Site Branding & Packaging for Refillable Makeup
I created a brand and designed an efficient use of space for a point of purchase site. I conceptualized the logo and developed a consistent yet versatile structure intended to be inviting and provide ease of access for all users.
brand identity
SPEKL is formulated from the concept of makeup compacts. Compacts are pressed powder into shallow tins. Since a significant variety of makeup products are powder based, it provides the versatility that our brand draws from. Powder is composed of tiny speckles of product, hence the name.
logo
The pictorial mark’s abstract shapes represent elements related to cosmetics ranging from eye shadow palettes to compacts and beyond.
SPEKL’s name is a variation of the word speckle with letters removed, but ensuring the word is recognizable. It captures the ideal of making the most from the least while maintaining an elevated, minimal product.
Letterforms from the typeface politica regular are adjusted around the logo square round shape. The edges are appropriately rounded and the horizontal bars are shifted to be level with the pictorial mark.
tagline
SPEKL aims to foster creativity, empowerment, and inclusivity through both our products and brand messaging. The tagline is purposely open to different individualized interpretations.

floor plan
Since the site is intended to be self-driven by the customers, the space is divided into stations that serve different purposes. Each section is intended to produce traffic flow for newcomers while still allowing returning customers to navigate directly to where they desire. It is ADA accessible at every stop.
