Project Info

Overview

ICARUS PRO approached Twistedgifted as an ambitious startup brand looking to disrupt the sports and outdoor skincare market with a high-performance SPF protection product aimed at athletes, surfers, cyclists, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts.

The vision was clear from the outset: create a bold, premium brand that felt energetic, performance-led, and instantly recognisable within a competitive marketplace.

Our role was to help shape the brand from the ground up creating a complete visual identity, marketing assets, packaging concepts, and a digital presence capable of positioning ICARUS PRO as a credible and aspirational lifestyle product.

From logo design and creative direction through to website design and marketing visuals, Twistedgifted became the creative partner behind the launch and development of the brand.

Six circular logos labeled “ICARUS PRO,” each with a winged silhouette above the text. The logos vary in background and text colours: dark blue, light blue, turquoise, peach, pink, and teal, each with contrasting text and icons. Logo and brand design by Twistedgifted.

Challenge

As a new entrant into the market, ICARUS PRO needed more than just a logo or product packaging – it required a complete brand ecosystem capable of building trust, recognition, and emotional connection with its audience.

The challenge was to create a brand identity that balanced performance, endurance, lifestyle, and adventure while also standing apart from the often clinical or generic look commonly associated with sun protection products.

The visual identity needed to feel premium yet accessible, bold without becoming overly aggressive, and versatile enough to work across packaging, digital platforms, promotional campaigns, and retail opportunities.

Alongside this, the website needed to communicate the product benefits clearly whilst visually reflecting the energy and lifestyle of the target audience.

Strategy and Approach

Our approach focused on building a lifestyle-led brand rather than simply marketing a product.

We began by developing a distinctive visual identity centred around movement, endurance, and outdoor performance. The iconic ICARUS PRO logo was designed to feel dynamic, modern, and memorable – helping position the brand confidently within the sports and wellness market.

From there, we developed a cohesive creative direction using bold typography, high-contrast visuals, energetic imagery, and a clean modern aesthetic that reinforced the premium positioning of the brand.

The website experience was designed to be visually impactful while remaining user-friendly and informative, ensuring customers could quickly understand the product benefits, brand ethos, and performance credentials.

We also created supporting marketing visuals and branded assets to ensure consistency across social media, promotional activity, and digital communications.
