About the brand

Rising sprouts provides a gateway into the world of movement and playfulness through kids yoga, kids dance and ‘learning coaching’ programs. During these activities the students are empowered to grow as individuals, whilst retaining playful, childlike exploration and enjoyment.  

The three offerings enable kids and teenagers with the space and support they need to flourish, feel good and have fun.

Project overview

Karin (the founder of Rising Sprouts) was passionate about creating a business that blended movement, dance, yoga and help young students overcome life’s challenges. What was less clear was how to tell the story of the brand, and what it would ultimately all look like.

That’s where we came in. Through close collaboration, we helped develop the essence of her brand, what Rising Sprouts stood for, unlocking Karin’s unique mission and infusing her values within every aspect of the process. 

Together, we dove deep, and from that initial exploratory session a concept was formed. Then, through multiple revisions, we were able to build out the core meaning behind Karin’s work. That’s how the business name ‘Rising Sprouts’ came to life, reflecting Karin’s vision and work ethos. 

Once the name was settled, we considered different options of how to convey the brand’s story visually. It quickly became obvious that a sunflower was the perfect symbol to represent her business, and the learning path of the students she cares for.

In the end, we helped the Rising Sprouts itself grow from a seed to a fully-realised brand, and can’t wait to see the heights it reaches.

Logo

The logo embodies kindness, joy, lightness and creativity.
Whilst the design feels young, though not childish, is professional, has a fun touch, embodies dynamic movement and liveliness.

See below the typography manipluation we did to create a custom and unique logo for rising sprouts.

Business name +
mascot

The sunflower symbolises the business name ‘rising sprouts’, as it is itself a sprout that will grow into a beautiful plant.

Just as the sprout continues to rise and steadily grow into a sunflower, so too do children develop over time. 

The name and mascot symbolises growth, movement, being grounded and that each child is encouraged to blossom in their own unique way.

Website

The website was designed to communicate positivity, playfulness, creativity, a sense of humour and care, always with a focus on remaining professional and trustworthy. These are also aspects that reflect both Karin’s (the founder of rising sprouts) personality and the overall character of the brand.

Likewise, the site conveys the joy and passion for Karin’s work with children and most importantly inform her clients about her offerings.

'rising sprout'
...from a seed to a sprout to a flower

This is a GIF, like a short video, showing the process from a little sunflower seed that grows into a sprout. After the seedling receives a lot of sunshine, some rain and some time goes by, it grows into a beautiful sunflower.

Hear what our wonderful client has to say

Ilaria understood my vision and recognised my joy and was able to translate this exactly into the designs. Both the name for my business came to life and the logo. This process alone was super great.

It feels so good to launch your own brand and to be so well supported and understood with such professionalism.

I highly recommend Ilaria on a professional and personal level. Ilaria is a ray of sunshine and provides great support.

Thank you very much for helping to make rising sprouts our ‘sunflower’!
