Chapter One

— Introduction —

OUR STORY


A MODERN HEAD CARE COMPANY FOUNDED BY TWO NATURAL-BORN PROBLEM SOLVERS.



Zach and Jake Barson like solving problems. One such problem was noticing how shaving and caring for your scalp is a bit of a pain. As two brothers from a family of entrepreneurs, they put their heads together and designed an electric shaver that cut closer and quicker. 


The best bit? They aren’t even bald. They just like helping people.

Chapter Two

— BRAND STRATEGY —

BRAND PROPOSITION


Taking the hassle out of head care by making it easier, quicker, and more accessible. 

BRAND

MISSION


WE’RE ON A MISSION TO TAKE THE HASSLE OUT OF HEAD CARE ONCE AND FOR ALL.


Why? Because for too long, bald people have been left with subpar options when it comes to shaving and caring for their heads. We’re here to change that by making head care easy and accessible. This means no more overpriced shavers that barely work. No more expensive lotions, creams and gels with weird ingredients we can’t pronounce. And absolutely no more irritation of any kind.  


Bald? We’ve got your back.

BRAND

Values


Three core values form the foundation of the brand's existence.


1. INCLUSIVITY

Here for all hair-free heads 

We make head care solutions for all heads. So no matter who you are or where you’re from, you’ll always be welcome at Freebird. 


2. INNOVATION + CONVENIENCE

Innovation that fits in the palm of your hand 

We listen to our customers and want the best for them, which is why we continuously adapt and innovate our products and services. 


3. DEDICATION

Strive to make life easier for others

We aim to make shaving your head and caring for your scalp an easy and enjoyable experience, with a result that makes you feel and look great.

Our audience


Our current core demographic is regular working-class guys from the American South and Midwest, 75% over the age of 30. 


However, Freebird has the ambition to connect and empower a much wider group of people who are united by having a head free of hair.

Chapter Three

— BRAND IDENTITY —

Identity


The logo is the signature of the Freebird brand. It’s inspired by the nostalgia and warmth of a classic barbershop. 


Its distinctive creates contrast and stand-out. It is often seen with the brand strapline, which has a variety of compositions depending on the context.


The brand strapline is a succinct expression of the products and services Freebird provides its customers.

TYPOGRAPHY


Like the brand itself, the typographic language is bold, simple and contemporary. 


The primary typeface is Garnet which is used in a series of weights in a clear hierarchy. 


Plantin Regular Italic is a supporting serif typeface to be used sparingly. It adds both contrast and sophistication to the brand.


The fonts are available to download through the link below.

Colors


The Freebird color palette evokes a balance of tradition and modernity.


Freebird Navy is the core brand color which is punctuated with three bright accent colors – Freebird Azure, Miami Orange and Morning Yellow.


Miami Orange is used to highlight CTAs and Morning Yellow as a standout promotional. Freebird Azure is commonly used for the Skin Care range.


All of the above are balanced by two neutral greys. Both can be used as a tint. Recommended tint values are 30% and 60%.


The brand logo should only be used in Freebird Navy or white on darker backgrounds (Except the monogram).

Tone of voice


The following are top-level principles that are aligned with the spirit of the brand – 

Headcare with Heart and Soul

1. HONEST

We’re candid, casual and enjoy a bit of wit, so long as we always appear reliable and trustworthy, too. 


2. KNOWLEDGEABLE

We’ve put our heart and soul into headcare. But we’re not just passionate – we’re helpful and insightful also. 


3. APPROACHABLE

At Freebird, anyone and everyone is welcome. This means being friendly, approachable and down to earth.



...with a little bit of swagger for good measure.
