(Overview)

Chō, meaning “gut” in Japanese, sets the tone for a naturally sourced, plant-based probiotic that feels both relevant and instinctive. The name invites curiosity and joy—creating an emotional entry point for consumers and opening up opportunities for playful, thoughtful product storytelling.

The identity is built with precision: a crafted logotype that balances warmth with clarity, a standout macron detail, and a vibrant, modern colour system that flexes across every touchpoint—especially packaging. Layered with a lifestyle-led image strategy, the brand forms meaningful, human connections while presenting a clear, elevated point of view.
In a category often dominated by clinical cues or overly generic wellness tropes, Chō takes a different path. I aligned the brand with a vibrant, clean narrative of gut-friendly goodness—one that feels human, relatable, and uplifting. This shift moves away from sterile or formulaic aesthetics toward something more emotionally resonant and culturally aware. Because people don’t just buy products—they connect with brands that reflect their values, their lifestyle, and their sense of self. Chō was designed to meet them there: instinctive, engaging, and full of life.
