Arch Avery is a brand identity created for a skincare tool brand. The logo combines bold typography with a slanted serif, and the two letter A forms are shaped to look as sharp as needle tips.

Design Details

Unique Properties: The brand identity for Arch Avery focuses on the precision and effectiveness of using the right skincare tool. The bold typography and slant serif blend allows the logo to adapt across a wide range of products while expressing the brand’s professional premium aesthetic. Orange enhances the brand’s enthusiasm in promoting proactive skincare. A metal stand is also designed to hold and protect the Blackhead Remover's extra fine needle tip with a unique curve that perfectly adapts to face contours.
Inspiration: Arch Avery’s logo draws inspiration from the brand’s debut Tripe A Fine-grade Blackhead Remover. Focusing on the product’s preciseness and performance, the two A alphabets are created to look as sharp as needle tips. The use of the logo under most situations should come with a black and white background of models using the product cheerfully and vibrantly, emphasising on the collective energy of aesthetics, advance and assurance, adding up to Triple A.
Research: Before diving into the creative process, Dip Mad conducted a thorough research on similar products available in the market. The team found that Triple A is one that stands out and should be branded with a more high end tier. Throughout the whole process Dip Mad carried out 5 consultation meetings with the client, and both came up with a satisfactory conclusion of what we see as the outcomes. We expect Triple A would burst out as a bestseller among similar products even with a higher pricing, online and offline.
Challenge: Similar products are available at cheaper prices with variable qualities. The client and the Dip Mad team had gone through countless discussions about how to make the product stand out in the market, and came up with the solution of elevating the brand's tier to premium skincare. Dip Mad contributed the idea of adding the aluminium holder to make the product complete with practical functions, and was in charge of the production of the holder, as well as the packaging of the boxset.
Realization and Technology: A triangular holder with a plastic liner is created to fully protect the 0.2mm needle tip of the Triple A Blackhead Remover. Each sculpted with CNC technology, the aluminium alloy holder is weighty enough to uphold the titanium crafted Triple A vertically from humid environments.
Operation and Interaction: The Arch Avery visual identity elevates the brand to another level. While a blackhead remover is commonly seen in every household, one crafted with titanium and comes with a luxurious holder is rare in the market. It is Arch Avery and Dip Mad's common philosophy to bring proactive skincare and great design into every individual's life routine.
Project Duration and Location: The project began in November 2024 and the creative process went on for 5 months. Dip Mad was also in charge of the brand's official website design, which started from January 2025 and was completed in May 2025. At the moment of this submission, the client is in the process of filing a patent for Triple A.
