The personal protection industry needed disruption. Body Armor Labs came to me with a vision to move away from tactical grit toward refined, "private security" luxury—and I delivered a brand identity that positions them as the premium choice in consumer armor.
Challenge
Traditional body armor branding leans heavy on military aesthetics and aggressive imagery. Body Armor Labs wanted to stand out by targeting a more sophisticated consumer—people who value protection but want it packaged with the refinement of a luxury brand. They needed an investor-ready identity that balanced security with elegance, all while remaining scalable for e-commerce.
Solution
I created a dual-purpose icon that works as both an abstract 'B' and a vest silhouette—clever, memorable, and rooted in the product itself. The brand system includes an accessibility-focused color palette and typography that pairs military precision with modern luxury. I designed a strategic homepage layout optimized for e-commerce conversion and delivered a complete visual identity that the client approved on the first pass. The result positions Body Armor Labs as a leader in the premium personal protection space.
