While developing brand concepts for a client in the baby gifting space, I explored an alternate strategic direction. As the concept evolved, it revealed potential beyond its original brief and single-product focus, repositioning the business as a broader children’s gifting brand.
Alongside designing the identity, I created the name Little Joys. to capture a dual meaning, the joy of giving and the “little joys” in our lives. This reframing allows the brand to speak not only to new parents, but to modern families more broadly.
The logo combines a simplified gift form with a ribbon and confetti-like elements, suggesting celebration and movement, almost as if the mark itself is tossing confetti into the air. The expression is playful but intentionally restrained. Rather than leaning into sentimental or cliché baby aesthetics, the system was designed for the modern parent: clean, contemporary, and adaptable. A warm yellow, paired with soft neutrals, introduces brightness without excess sweetness. Confetti dots form part of the logo, while ring-shaped motifs extend the identity into supporting patterns across packaging, tags, stickers, gift cards, and a digital storefront concept.
The result is an alternate direction built around longevity and category flexibility, a structured identity capable of growing with the business rather than being confined to a single product.
