A shared body shape does not have to flatten personality. The small differences between companions give the category system variety while keeping the wider shop and packaging family connected.

What the work needed to connect

Connect multiple pet categories through a friendly identity while keeping the individual animals and product groups visually distinct.

A family across pet categories

ToyPet brings a broad range of animals into one visual family. Rounded forms and large eyes connect the characters, while individual silhouettes distinguish each companion. The identity gives different product categories a shared starting point.

A character system with room to vary

The sketch sheet introduces the wordmark and silhouettes before the identity kit and product family. That sequence makes the repeated round construction visible, then shows how it changes for different animals.

Character within a consistent shape

Each mascot starts with a low, rounded body and circular eyes. Small changes to ears, limbs and expression identify the animal. Colour separates categories while the underlying construction keeps the family together.

A green extension for reptiles

Gecko and tortoise graphics extend the system into reptile care. Emerald and leaf greens distinguish this category across packaging and habitat products. The wordmark and rounded character construction retain continuity with the wider identity.

From packaging to a storefront

The applications explore the identity at different scales, from collar tags to storefront graphics. Repeated shapes, colour and lettering connect these surfaces. Character variation provides room to expand the system without redrawing its basic rules.

What I take from this direction

A shared body shape does not have to flatten personality. The small differences between companions give the category system variety while keeping the wider shop and packaging family connected.
