Mother Earth GAIA is an interesting Greek goddess. More than
just being a goddess, she represents primordial power in
mythology. The idea behind this name is the creation of a brand
that sells packaged seeds. Different types of seeds so they can
be planted. I came up with this idea because in my opinion,
plants are not only part of our Earth, but also, they are a
primordial power in nature.
The intention of this brand is to be used in many applications,
including packaging for different types of seeds used for
planting like sunflower seeds, magnolia seeds, tulip seeds, rose
seeds, and many others. At the beginning I was undecided on
which god or goddess to choose from but, Gaia brought my
attention because of its interesting and short name. The story
behind Gaia is interesting. She had many children: Oceanus,
Coeus, Cirus, Hyperion, Iapetus, Cronus, Mnemosyne, Phoebe,
Rhea, Tethys, Theia, Themis, Brontes, Steropes, Arges, Cottus,
Briareus, and Gyges. Gaia was married to Uranus, and Uranus
couldn’t stand seeing all their monstruous sons, so he forced
them to remain hidden in their mother’s womb, that is, hidden
under the earth.
The idea of seeds comes from this story, since they remain
under earth for a very long time until they emerge into
something beautiful. Gaia is also the Greek version of Mother
Nature, considered as many as the Great Goddess. The
delicacy of flowers is considered an enormous part of nature,
and Gaia Seeds emerges from this concept.
There were several other options when thinking about a brand
with this name. The creation of tea bags was a strong idea also,
but it really did not represent mother earth as much as the
seeds. Also, I researched in Google a few packaging seeds and
none of them had Gaia for a name, so this is part of the
motivation also. Creating this brand was not an easy task, since
many logo ideas came to my mind and I couldn’t decide which
idea to use and expand.
I thought about creating a brand that represented only the
seeds, for example, using little dots on the brand. This did not
succeed because it lead to many interpretations. I studied
many other ways to play with the logo until I decided creating
seeds that actually looked like leaves. I was thinking about
making the logo with a more “leafy” shape, but this shape was
interpreted as flames, so I designed two simple seeds that
when put together, look like leaves.
I chose brown and green for the colors of the brand. These two
colors represent Earth in a direct way, and I consider that being
direct when transmitting a brand is a part of success when
studying the brand as a whole concept.
The chosen font is a handwritten font, that looks elegant but at
the same time, playful. I consider that this is not a serious type
selection, but a delicate one. This type can be easily
differentiated amongst many others, and uniqueness is part of
Gaia. The brand is separated between the type and the symbol.
I decided to create it this way so in future applications; they can
be used separately and still share the meaning of the brand.
My purpose is to create a new concept for seeds, to
differentiate them in stands or booths in a store. I hope that the
creation of this new brand succeeds in all future applications.
