HypeCaps case study by Thertel Design.

Case

HypeCaps (2022)

Level Up: How intentional design fosters brand loyalty and resonates with gamers, bridging the gap between brand values and consumer connection.

CONTEXT

HypeCaps is a retailer based in Denmark selling keycaps, mousepads and other gaming accessories to enable gamers to assemble a personalized and high-quality computer setup. Through their e-commerce store, HypeCaps has worked to empower gamers since the second quarter of 2022.

OPPORTUNITY

Being a startup in the gaming industry, the client needed to find their customers in a competitive market. I had the opportunity to build the client a strong brand identity to reach its target audience and speak its values to the right consumers.

LOGO AND BRAND IDENTITY

DESIGN PROCESS

The values the logo had to visualize and represent were reasonably straightforward; gaming, youth and custom-built. The values and target audience had been at the centre of the brainstorming and sketching phase.

A lively, almost breathing logo captures the dynamic and vibrant essence of gaming culture. It not only reflects the energetic and engaging nature of gameplay but also establishes a memorable and visually stimulating brand identity, fostering a stronger connection with the target audience of avid gamers and enthusiasts.
