Design by: JDO


Inspired by Scandinavia’s minimalist approach to design and the region’s affinity with their unspoilt countryside, JDO developed the creative direction, ’Nordic Nature inspired by Human Hand.’ This became the guiding brand principle and inspired a single-minded look and feel.  JDO created a new brand positioning which celebrated Cutrin’s Nordic style and provenance whilst juxtaposing the concept of weakness with strength. With such an expansive product range, the design team decided to move to a stronger, united brand block whilst maintaining strong product differentiation.

A beautiful matt pure white canvas serves as the backdrop, laying the foundation for a cohesive, minimalist Scandi feel. Offset against this are handcrafted illustrations, inspired by nature. Each illustration not only defines each range, but also emotes the product’s qualities like gentle or nourishing. The logo reflects confident expertise with the strong utilitarian feel associated with Scandinavian typography. Extended kerning provides a premium, cosmetic-fashion feel whilst the extended bar on the ‘R’ plays into the runic traditions of the Norse.

“With this redesign, Cutrin embraces its opportunity to own a unique and compelling position in market,” comments Ben Oates, Founder and Creative Director at JDO. “Our challenge was to strike the right balance between serenity and strength, whilst creating belief, not only in the efficacy of Cutrin’s products, but also in its authentically Nordic roots.”

“Cutrin has long been committed to enhancing the natural beauty of Nordic women,” Nina Simojoki, CMO at Cutrin Nordic Expressions. “JDO understood our ambitions and created a solution that successfully balances contemporary chic with timeless style. In reflecting a profound sense of Nordic provenance, we believe this redesign will powerfully resonate with our consumers, both aesthetically and emotionally.”
