Brand Identity

Svalrs logo draws inspiration from the topography of Hiorthfjellet, a mountain that symbolizes Longyearbyen, the brand’s home. The typography reflects fonts used on old maps, reinforcing the connection to history and place.

The color palette draws inspiration from the arctic nature. Although most people associate crisp blues and white snow with the arctic landscape, one often tend to forget the beautiful summer and autumn colors of the tundra. Svalr serves as a holistic all-year brand, and therefore includes the colors of all seasons.

Packaging

The main inspiration for the packaging is “Hiorthfjellet” - a mountain that can be seen as the very symbol of Longyearbyen, the town in which Svalr is based.

With a focus on recyclable packaging, we chose glass & aluminum as main materials. The text is flowing in organic shapes as a testament to the topography of Hiorthfjellet. This creates an interesting look while still keeping the design simple and minimalistic.

The boxes were made for exploration. They can be fully unfolded for more information hidden on the inside  — contributing to a map-like feel.
