Contest Brief

UPDATE: Alot of you are writing the incorrect name. Please note the correct spelling of the name below.

Haus of Ẹ̀fín (it means—“smoke” in Yoruba), is my upcoming incense line, and I’m ready to give it an identity that feels strong yet playful. I need a clean, minimalist logo built around a clear smoke motif, supported by abstract shapes that hint at movement and fragrance. A patterned background will carry this same visual language across boxes, sachets, and sleeves.

Colour-wise, I gravitate toward teal, browns, and blues, but I’m open to bold experiments if they keep the overall look uncluttered. Organic leaf or wood symbols can appear subtly, though the primary focus remains smoke and abstract geometry. But feel free to be creative and go outside the box.

Deliverables
• Scalable vector logo (AI/SVG + PNG)
• Repeatable packaging pattern in print-ready CMYK (AI/SVG + 300 dpi TIFF)
• Small style sheet summarising palette, fonts, and usage rules

Both the logo and pattern should sit comfortably on a white or neutral field, with clear contrast for embossing, foil, and digital applications. If the artwork feels balanced in a single colour as well as full colour, we’re on the right track.

    Hi there! ?


    I’ve spent quite a bit of time today carefully working through your brief for Haus of Ẹ̀fín, and I created 6 different minimalist logo and pattern directions that stay true to your vision—especially the clean smoke motif, subtle movement, and balanced abstract forms.


    I made sure each concept keeps that strong-but-playful feel you described, and also works well across packaging (boxes, sachets, sleeves), including single-color applications for embossing or foil. I also explored your preferred palette (teal, browns, blues) with a few controlled variations to keep things fresh but still uncluttered.


    I’d really appreciate your feedback on them. If any direction stands out to you—or if you’d like adjustments (color tweaks, typography refinement, more/less abstraction, etc.)—I’m more than happy to refine and iterate until it feels exactly right.

    CH, you need to watch out, most entries are going to be AI generated, 99% AI, these scammers will post HUNDREDS of AI images each but you can spot them, watch out for them dropping all entries super fast. Keep in mind a hand crafted design takes time to create, so multiple different entries in a row is impossible. The easiest way to spot them is typing their name into 'Search Entries' so you can see their pattern of spamming and how fast they are posting entries. ALWAYS SEARCH NAMES. I can not stress this enough, every single entry you like the look of, SEARCH NAME.

    ALSO PLEASE NOTE!!!

    AI-generated images lack copyright protection, permitting any third party to copy the design and could lead to future legal disputes over ownership or usage rights.

    Hello,

    For **Haus of Ẹ̀fín**, I designed a clean, modern identity centered around the meaning of the name—**“Ẹ̀fín,” which means smoke**. The logo uses a **flowing abstract smoke form built from soft geometric curves**, symbolizing fragrance, calm movement, and the sensory nature of incense. Subtle leaf-like shapes are integrated into the smoke to hint at **natural ingredients such as wood, herbs, and botanicals** without making the design feel busy.

    The colour palette combines **deep teal, soft blue, and warm earthy browns**, creating a balance between freshness and grounding natural tones. These colours were selected to feel **premium, calming, and distinctive on shelves**, while also working beautifully for **foil stamping, embossing, or single-colour printing**.
