Belgium, globally renowned for its exquisite chocolates, stands as a symbol of confectionery excellence. Recognizing this legacy and identifying a market gap, a prominent business family — with a rich history in operating leading hyper-stores, a vast distribution network, and a stronghold in the agriculture sector — decided to venture into the confectionery domain. Their ambition? To establish a brand that competes with the world’s leading confectionery names. To actualize this vision, they approached Owl Branding Studio. We rose to the challenge, proposing the launch of a unique confectionery brand specifically tailored for Gen Z and younger generations.

“A Marvellous Love Affair”
Logo Concept
“O’My Love” is not just a name; it’s an embodiment of emotion, joy, and unwavering commitment. The logo is designed to encapsulate this sentiment, resonating deeply with the dynamic Gen Z and younger generations. At its core, a heart crafted in a rich shade of red symbolizes passion, love, and the deep affection the brand promises.
Encasing this heart is a gold thick border, not just as an ornamental feature but as a representation of a heart filled with gold – a heart that’s meant to be there forever. This gold border is a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality, its golden promise to its consumers, and the enduring bond it seeks to foster.
The brand name, “O’My Love”, is rendered in a specially crafted handwritten font to appeal to Gen Z and younger audiences. The font, while stylish, carries a touch of nostalgia, bridging the gap between timeless quality and modern appeal. The entire design appears in reverse, adding an element of surprise and admiration, making it an instant favorite.
This logo is more than just a visual; it’s a promise, a companion, and a testament to the brand’s philosophy of enduring relationships and crafting memories.
