𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. We work with product-led businesses, founders, and teams who see branding as a long-term investment rather than a launch exercise. Our focus is on clarity, consistency, and systems that scale, from brand foundations and visual identities to packaging, print, and applied brand environments. We design brand system

s that are built to endure, adapt, and evolve over time, reducing the need for constant redesign while maintaining relevance and quality across touchpoints. Revel Up Media is not positioned for fast, disposable branding. We partner with businesses that value considered decision-making, strong visual language, and longevity, and who are prepared to build their brands with intent.

Before revealing Violet Farms’ final brand identity, we’re sharing one of the early directions explored in Phase One.

The brief was rooted in market-stall culture, preservative-free food, and a brand created with longevity in mind, something meaningful, honest, and built for the next generation.

Think a small variety of specialty products, not found on every shelf in large retail stores, but carefully curated and discovered in gem locations, such as craft markets, wine tastings, and artisanal stores.

Where discovery feels special. 💜

This concept leaned into hand-drawn floral assets, expressive heritage-led typography, and a structured logo system designed to feel crafted rather than manufactured.

The colour palette balanced soft violets with warm yellows, echoing natural ingredients, freshness, and warmth without losing clarity or strength.

The final identity will be shared soon.
This is part of the thinking that shaped it.

𝗪𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗱𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 🤓 𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘱𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘺!

We get a little too excited about packaging. 😅

There’s just something about getting to hold the brand.
It’s real, it’s tactile, it’s where the visuals finally stop being pixels.

Pure Wtr gave us uphill (𝘯𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘺), but in the best way cause we always love a challenge!

The founder wanted to feature Cathkin Peaks, the mountain that means the world to him, on the packaging design.

But let’s be honest, another mountain silhouette? It’s been done 𝙨𝙤𝙤𝙤 many times.
We couldn’t do that to ourselves.

So, we got nerdy. 🤓
We built a custom topography map of the actual peak and worked it into the design. Every line you see? That’s his mountain. Who knew high-school Geography would come in handy one day? 😅

The refined identity brings a little movement back into the mix, the italic “p” adds flow, while the grounded “ure” and soft “wtr” bring balance, purity, and that connection to nature the brand stands for. (𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘦 2 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘰'𝘴 "𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦".)

We also stayed far, far away from the cliché “𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳” palette. The colours pull from topographic map tones — deep greens, grounded neutrals, and soft contrasts that feel fresh, intentional, and rooted in the landscape itself. It all comes together in a way that feels calm, honest, and alive.

Which ties back perfectly to the brand’s philosophy, because that’s literally the slogan: 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

So… this client had a lot of ideas... 🌚 Like 𝗔 𝗟𝗢𝗧, and I'm probably going to obsess over this brand identity for a while because this was 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 a "𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩" for us to create.

It basically came down to, “𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰, 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥-𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦..." 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚, 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚). 😅

And I was sitting there like: sure, no problem. 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆. (𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺.)
But solving problems is what designers do? 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

Logos with heavy detail are usually a terrible idea.

I repeat. 𝘈. 𝘛𝘌𝘙𝘙𝘐𝘉𝘓𝘌. 𝘐𝘋𝘌𝘈. 🙅🏻‍♀️
I call it the "𝗻𝗼-𝗴𝗼 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲." 😅

They break when you scale them down. They end up looking like you 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆. This is the part that made my brain light up — Raven’s Nest is basically a 𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡-𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 brand. Which gave us some space to bend the rules.

And honestly? 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘪𝘪𝘪𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺. 🤏🏻

This project turned into exactly the kind of design rabbit hole I love falling into. It was tricky, messy, a little frustrating at times (𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘐'𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘵) — but in the “𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘵 2𝘢𝘮” way. I probably sent her too many Pinterest "inspo-pics" where I asked "𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?". And yet, that was the fun part for me. Figuring out 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 she wanted.

Because the challenge wasn’t just “𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺.” It was “𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀.” Which meant building versions that could actually work: the full crest, the raven on its own, a monogram, a badge. 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. All still recognizable as Raven’s Nest.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁, 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝘁? A logo isn’t one flat image. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮. A personality with different voices for different moments.

So yeah, it was a bit unorthodox. A bit much. Probably too detailed for the 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 definition of a logo. But you know what? It works for this brand. And it feels alive. And that’s the win. 💙

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼: taking an initial idea and cultivating it into a living, breathing brand — refined, intentional, and 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁’𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

From the very start, our collaboration was rooted in conversation. Through in-depth discussions, shared references, and future-facing ideas, we merged the client’s love for rare plants and old-world botanical journals into a brand that feels both timeless and unique.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲?
Preserving the intricate detail of an emblem-style crest while ensuring scalability, legibility, and elegance. The result is a sophisticated identity that balances gothic undertones with botanical refinement — a brand that feels scholarly, confident, and conscious.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 — every element was carefully chosen to reflect not only the client’s personal style, but also her ethos: plants as living presences, cultivated with respect, grown with care, and never treated as commodities. This is more than a nursery — 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺, 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳.

The Bluefish Catalyst rebrand wasn’t just about updating a logo. 𝘈 𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘻𝘻𝘭𝘦, the real impact comes when your brand feels consistent 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 it shows up. From Instagram highlights to thank-you cards, every touchpoint carries the same tone and sets the stage for how your audience connects with you. 💙

For Bluefish Catalyst, the identity needed to feel 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, perfectly suited to their collection of vintage jewellery and heirlooms.

We always love looking at the 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, not just where your business is now but where you’d like to take it. Setting the foundation right from the start helps create a brand that resonates with your audience, excites them, and still feels authentic years down the line. That’s why we put our focus on 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 rather than relying on generic templates or stock imagery. It’s this approach that makes each project 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴.

If you’d like to chat about your own branding, we’d be thrilled to connect. Whether it’s a Zoom or Teams call, we love hearing about new businesses, rebrands, and future goals. No strings attached, just a chance to throw around ideas and see what feels right. 💬✨

❤️ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 🩶

This was one of the concepts we created for an accounting firm that wanted something different and it’s still one we really stand by.

The entire concept was to strip away the usual corporate stiffness and build something that actually felt premium, but without the glossed-over, soulless feel a lot of “luxury” and corporate brands fall into.

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸... 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘥, 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴...

We wanted it to be elegant, sharp, and quietly confident.

The deep red wasn’t just a nice colour, it was carefully selected for the psychology behind it and emotions it will make you feel. It signals leadership, clarity, and bold thinking — the kind of traits you'd want from the people handling your money.

The grey adds calm.

It keeps the identity grounded and deliberate. Together, they strike a balance between authority and warmth.

We also went with lowercase serif typography on purpose. It keeps things refined but approachable — still professional, but not rigid.

There's personality in the details, from the curves in the letterforms to the spacing that gives it room to breathe. 🙌🏻

This direction wasn’t picked in the end, but we still love it.

🍊 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 🍷

We were proud to be part of the journey as launched their first product—Orange Wine, handcrafted in South Africa. This small-batch release is bold yet subtle, with a focus on natural craft and clean, timeless design that reflects the care behind every bottle.

From the soft citrus palette to the elegant serif and handwritten script, every element was thoughtfully created to reflect the artisanal spirit of this new venture. A true passion project—one we hope to spot on shelves soon.

For people who love good wine and beautiful details. 🍊
Not sure about you, but we always find ourselves reaching for the bottle with the nicest label. There’s just something about great design that makes the whole experience feel more special. 🙌
