8es Babys brand identity — case study by Donny Clay, Senior Graphic Designer

Logo Application

Challenge:

8es Babys needed a comprehensive identity system to expand into apparel and marketing.

Process:

Created a brand guideline covering logo usage, spacing, scaling, and misuse. Built standards for internal teams and outside partners. Designed applications for print, digital, vehicle wraps, and outdoor.

Outcome:

A professional brand system that strengthened recognition, ensured consistency, and positioned 8es Babys for scalable growth.

Brand Apparel

Challenge:

Expand beyond digital gaming into lifestyle branding through apparel while staying true to the identity.

Process:

Designed an apparel guide inspired by 1980s nostalgia — the core theme of 8es Babys. Produced hoodies, tees, and promo wear using retro typography and motifs aligned to the brand’s playful voice.

Outcome:

A cohesive apparel concept that broadened appeal and positioned 8es Babys as a cultural lifestyle brand.

Brand Voice

Challenge:

Lack of a clear voice risked diluted identity across channels.

Process:

Defined a “corporate fun” tone — professional yet playful — with wordplay, puns, and 80s references to sync with apparel. Produced digital ad concepts emphasizing inclusivity and family-friendly fun.

Outcome:

A cohesive verbal identity that made the brand recognizable and memorable across touchpoints.
