What Is Brand Design?
Brand design is the process of crafting the visual identity and personality of your business. It goes beyond just creating a logo. It includes your typography, colour palette, brand voice, and overall look and feel across all marketing channels. A well-designed brand builds trust, sets you apart from competitors, and leaves a lasting impression on your customers.
When done right, brand design tells your story in a way that’s immediately recognisable. It becomes the face of your company, from your business cards to your social media profiles to your packaging.
Why Brand Design Matters for NZ Businesses
New Zealand is full of ambitious businesses trying to make their mark — from small Tauranga startups to fast-growing eCommerce stores. In this crowded space, first impressions matter.

-
Helps you stand out in a competitive market
-
Makes your marketing more effective
-
Gives your team a clear visual framework to follow

Our Brand Design Process At Happy Hank Media
For Envision Landscape Construction, the round logo offers a bold, recognisable mark that feels strong and approachable, ideal for use on vehicles, apparel and social media.
The customised colour palette reinforces this by balancing warmth and professionalism, helping the brand feel both premium and approachable across different settings.
The horizontal version carries the same clean and modern design, giving flexibility for website headers, signage and other longer format spaces where a wider layout works best.
The vertical logo layout provides a balanced, space-efficient option, ideal for print materials, social posts or anywhere a more compact, stacked format is needed.
The Skimple App logo was designed to reflect simplicity and ease of use, focusing on streamlining skin tracking, growth, and health. It helps users track sensitivities and identify what works for individuals’ skin, promoting better understanding and care.
The primary horizontal logo complements the round design, offering a clean, modern look that enhances the app’s practical approach. With clarity and recognisability across various platforms, the two logos work together to present a brand focused on simplicity and efficiency.
For Kea Ridge Lodge, the aim was to capture the essence of the lodge’s natural surroundings. The round logo draws inspiration from the local Kea birds, creating a calm, inviting aesthetic that reflects the breathtaking views and serene atmosphere of the lodge.
The horizontal logo complements the round design for Kea Ridge Lodge, maintaining a connection to the nature-inspired elements.
The branding design for the Women of Impact Gala captures strength and unity through a distinctive round logo. The design celebrates the empowering mission of the event.
The horizontal logo reinforces the empowering theme of the Women of Impact Gala with an elegant and modern design. It complements the round logo perfectly, ensuring the event’s branding aligns with its mission of celebrating powerful women and making a positive community impact.
For Skinderella, the round logo embodies the curves of skin, symbolising the brand’s focus on skin health. Designed to appeal to an audience with skin-related conditions, it reflects healing, empowerment, and transformation, offering hope and support for better skin.
The horizontal logo for Skinderella features the full brand name, written out in a sleek, modern style. It reinforces the brand’s identity while maintaining versatility for various applications. This logo ensures the brand remains clear, professional, and strong across all formats.

“I hired Amy at Happy Hank Media to create branding packages for two of my new businesses from the ground up. Amy was a great fit for my businesses as she has proven to be the best in the health and wellness space, and I loved all of her previous work.
She designed all of the branding, typography, colour palettes and logos I required, including the requirements for the app, social media, website and watermark options of both the logos and Icons.
I am beyond happy to have found Amy and chosen her to do this work, she really listened to what I wanted and delivered more than what I was envisioning.“
