Case Study© 2019

REDEFINING MASCULINITY AND PATERNITY

AndrosophyJapan© 2019

Androsophy is a Japanese baby sling brand blending ergonomic design, familial bonds, and cool, masculine aesthetics. The brand believes in evolving traditional gender roles by forging bonds within families.

Androsophy's vision is to enhance the father-baby relationship with a carrier designed specifically for men. To achieve this transformation in family dynamics, the brand needed a name, strategy, and identity that balanced style, masculinity, and fatherhood. Kinsman Design's challenge was to create a brand that would resonate with 'cool' fathers, merging the image of a role model father with sophisticated men's style.

We developed a brand strategy and name centred on 'the thought and wisdom of man', incorporating this concept into the brand name and identity. This was reflected in the colour scheme, typeface, iconography, and all other aspects of brand activation.

the thought and wisdom of man

Brand Strategy

Androsophy was created to blend men's insights with child-rearing without sacrificing style. It supports fathers in their parenting journey with products they are proud to use and display. We helped solidify this vision by crafting a cohesive and insightful concept based on 'the thought and wisdom of men,' shaping a brand that offers a variety of products for fathers and their families.

The name 'Androsophy' combines 'Andro-', meaning male, and 'sophy', meaning thought or wisdom.

It embodies a brand that understands men's thoughts and needs, offering functional and stylish products that men desire.

Creating happier families through empowered fathers, we developed a sophisticated brand identity that resonates with modern fathers, balancing design elements with a clear, uplifting voice.

Blending human-centered design elements with a clear, uplifting tone that resonates with customers on their level.

Showcasing the father-child connection

The logo design process focused on Androsophy's core value: the deep connection between father and child, nurtured by an empowered man and family.

The design features soft, curved shapes that form a lowercase "a" and resemble a baby in a carrier held protectively by a father. The bold, sans-serif wordmark adds a strong, contemporary feel, resulting in a modern logo that fits a child-focused brand and aligns with the brand strategy and name.

To bring the value proposition to life, we crafted an identity that harmonizes the softness expected from a children's brand with the sophistication aimed at 'cool' fathers. Every element, from typography to color scheme, was designed to strike this balance with strategic and aesthetic precision.

The typography was chosen to be versatile and approachable, suitable for both print and digital applications.

We wove the same compelling story through visuals and content across various touchpoints, establishing a cohesive and strong foundation for brand building.

Expressing the proposition 'the thought and wisdom of man' involved creating marketing materials, packaging design, and brand guidelines that ensure simplicity and clarity, transcending language barriers.

Thanks
We are incredibly grateful to Asaki for the opportunity to work on this project.
