Context

Characters give a brand a voice where a logo alone can’t: in educational content, customer service, social posts and campaigns.

Challenge

Design characters that stay consistent across many poses and expressions and still feel alive in every context.

Strategy

Strategy

Start from a strong silhouette and a limited palette, then build a library of poses, expressions and versions ready for each application.

Creative direction

How it comes together.

  1. Pote Cast

    A friendly host paired with a hand-lettered logo and three color variations.

  2. Descomplica Idiomas

    The brand’s lock turned into a mascot with stars-and-stripes patterns and a vocabulary of gestures.

  3. Escolha a Escola

    Two curious kids, with music, a magnifying glass and notebooks, who guide families through the project.

Deliverables

  • Educational content
  • Campaigns and social media
  • Supporting materials
  • Pose and expression variations
