OUR STORY
We're not your typical fruit and vegetable delivery service. Our
mission is to assist those dealing with illnesses, raise awareness
about the direct impact of your diet on your well-being, and
dispel the myth that healthy food is bland and unappetising.

Founder Brené established En Route due to her sister's illness,


believing there was no way to improve her well-being. After
years of research, Brené realized that while there may be no
cures for some illnesses, the food we consume can often
influence the severity of these conditions. She dedicated herself
to enhancing the lives of others.

Our dedication is to add convenience and flavour to your life


with our nutritious produce. The name 'En Route' isn't just a
catchy phrase; it's a commitment. With every delivery, we're on
our way to bringing goodness and flavor to your table.

A brand logo is a symbol, emblem, typographic, or the

LOGOS &
combination of all used by businesses to mark its brand’s
identity. Having a unique logo helps your customers to identify
& remember your product and quality of your brand.

CLEAR SPACE
It’s important that your logo is responsive and can be used in
a variety of different spaces. That’s why variations of your
primary logo have been designed.

09
PRIMARY LOGO
Useage:
The primary logo is the main voice and signature of
your brand. This should be used most frequently
when space allows for it. Our logo consists of
customised typography & an icon. This should be
used on elements like websites, footers, stationery,
signage etc.

Breakdown:
The primary logo is fun flowing and features
note-style letters of varying sizes & physique. The
‘RO’ has been designed with an arrow to portray the
route of delivery as well as the journey to better
health.

Clear Space:
This shows the minimum distance between the logo
and other graphic elements. Always allow for a
minimum clear space around the logo of 65px as
shown to the right. 10
SECONDARY LOGO
Useage:
The secondary logo or known as the ‘alternative
logo’ uses components from your main logo but
in a variation. This is to be used when the
primary logo doesn’t fit in the required space. It
can be used on websites, printed materials and
larger elements.

Breakdown:
The secondary logo is stacked with each word
imperfectly (but somewhat perfectly) slotting
into the next which adds that playful edge.

Clear Space:
This shows the minimum distance between the
logo and other graphic elements. Always allow
for a minimum clear space of 65px as shown to
the right.

11
LOGO MARK
Useage:
Logo Marks are a simplified version of your main
logo. This consists of an icon/symbol. This can
be used in confined spaces like social media
profile pictures, stamps, favicon etc. It’s best to
use this when your other variations simply won’t
fit.

Breakdown:
The logomark is straightforward and distinctive.
It’s reflective of En Route stamping ‘better health’
onto the lives of everyone they encounter.

Illustrations & patterns are an exciting elements to
your brand. They add that little piece of creative flare
that help make your brand distinctive. They bring in
your brand personality and create a memorable
brand experience.

BRAND ASSETS
It’s also an effective way to build brand recognition
that carries through your business’ physical
presence, at every touch point, and helps you
maintain cohesive branding.
22
YOUR
ASSETS
Brand illustrations give visual tribute to
the types of produce used within En
Route’s recipes. Within each icon, you’ll
see a subtle arrow. This increases brand
credibility as it correlates with the logo
design and depicts the journey from En
Route to our customers door as well as,
the journey everyone is going to take to
achieve better health.

You’ll also find subtle gaps and negative


space within the illustrations to add to
the rustic feel of the brand. This is
indicative of the organic produce that En
Route hold dearly to their heart.

23
HOW TO USE
YOUR ASSETS
En Route’s mock-ups have been carefully
curated to bring the brand to life through
use of colour, typography and styling. The
vibrancy of the brand is unrivalled whilst
retaining a great balance of negative
space throughout to ensure each
touchpoint is easy to digest.
