Luxury skincare brand RIVA needs a minimal high-end logo
Logo Design Brief
Business Name:
RIVA (primary logo)
Optional: RIVA Skin (secondary only)
Industry:
Skincare / Beauty
About the Brand:
RIVA is a luxury, Indigenous-owned skincare brand founded by a Bundjalung woman. The brand draws inspiration from the Clarence River on Bundjalung Country, Australia — a place of gathering, nourishment, and connection.
RIVA represents natural beauty, flow, glow, and strength. The brand is grounded in authenticity, culture, and a modern luxury aesthetic.
Target Audience:
Premium beauty consumers (aligned with brands stocked in MECCA)
Style Direction:
Minimal, clean, high-end
Modern and timeless (not trend-driven)
Strong typography is most important
Should feel like a premium beauty/fashion brand
Logo Direction:
Focus on a wordmark: “RIVA”
Optional secondary lockup: “RIVA Skin”
No busy icons or obvious skincare symbols
If any icon is used, it must be extremely subtle and refined
Indigenous Design Consideration:
This is an Indigenous-owned brand, but the logo should remain modern and premium.
Please AVOID:
Stereotypical or generic Indigenous patterns
Overuse of symbols or traditional motifs
Anything that feels tokenistic or decorative
If cultural inspiration is incorporated, it must be subtle, respectful, and contemporary.
Colours:
Black, white, neutrals
Optional soft beige, warm tones, or muted blush
Do NOT want:
Leaves, flowers, or generic “natural” icons
Script fonts that feel cheap or overly feminine
Busy or overly decorative logos
Inspiration:
Rhode Skin, Aesop, Go-To Skincare
Deliverables:
AI / EPS vector files
PNG (transparent background)
Black and white versions
Important:
The design must be original and suitable for trademark use.
The goal is to create a brand that could sit alongside premium global skincare brands

- Some further feedback I would like to see would be no symbols, no lines just a clean THICKER font rather. Bonus points if you can mock up some sage or blush pink matte tubes (google Camp Lane skincare - as I would like it mocked up on a similar balm tube/stick): Place the RIVA logo vertically, centre-aligned on the front panel, spanning most of the tube height, with clear space at top and bottom for hierarchy.
