Branding Caso de Estudio: Ninah Mars

Ninah Mars es una de esas artistas súper cool de las que quisieras hacerte amigo. Y cuando hablo de artista, lo digo en todo el sentido de la palabra. Cantante. Pintora. Súper cool roquera chic. Esta es la historia de su marca.

Conocí a Ninah Mars por casualidad. A pesar de ser una cantante bien conocida de Venezuela, yo no estaba tan relacionada con ella. De todos los lugares que pudieron haber sido, me topé con Ninah a través de Snapchat. Si, así es, lo crean o no, soy grande en Snapchat. Me puedes seguir como @Fabipaolini, aunque te advierto que hago Snaps en español.
although I do warn you that I snap in Spanish.

De todos modos, a Snapper (¿es así como lo llaman, no?) Alguien que sigo recomendó a Ninah y la empecé a seguir. Instantáneamente me enamoré de su marca. ¡Demasiado cool! Ella es el tipo de persona que simplemente respira y vive en arte. Pinta acrílicos increíbles y escribe buenas canciones también. Así que cuando ella empezó a preguntar por Snapchat si había algún diseñador por allí que pudiera ayudarla con su marca + website, salté ahí y me uní. Ninah y yo conectamos súper rápido. Se sentía como si nos conociéramos desde hace años.

Existian algunos inconvenientes que ella necesitaba resolver con respecto a su marca. Uno de ellos es que era completamente multilingual. Parte de su audiencia hablaba inglés (considerando especialmente que algunas de sus canciones son en ingles). Otra parte hablaba Español y se encontraba en Venezuela, y además había otra parte de su audiencia que hablaba Italiano y trabajaba en Roma. Otro problema que Ninah tenía era que necesitaba unir a las personas que la seguían por el arte y a otro grupo que la seguían por la música. Es decir, aquellos fans de su música, no necesariamente sabían sobre su trabajo en el arte y vice versa. Entonces teníamos que juntarlo todo. Lo otro que le estaba pasando es que su marca era demasiado vieja. Su logo estaba desactualizado y su página web no tenía información relevante. Cuando visité su web, así era como se veía.

No estaba mal, solo era vieja y no era tan chic. Queríamos crear una marca que se viera cool. moderna y audaz al mismo tiempo.


Comenzamos su proceso de branding definiendo su marca y creando un Brand Brief. Un Brand Brief es un documento que creo para mis clientes donde analizamos cada aspecto de la marca. Así cubrimos todo, la misión, personalidad y estilo de comunicación.

Una vez la parte interna de la marca fue definida, pasamos a crear su nuevo logo e imagen.

Realmente la marca está en linea con su imagen. Este es uno de esos casos donde simplemente sabia lo que quería para su logo en el minuto que empecé a investigar sobre su marca. Era casi su propia firma, pero no del todo. Hice algunas variaciones en la fuente original, para que tuviera mejor equilibrio y estilo. Hice lo mismo con el ícono de su logo también.

El próximo reto era hacer que su página fuera súper chic y cool y que tuviera sus dos lados de artista. Ninah había hecho una sesión de fotos increíble y tuvo la idea de poner 2 fotos juntas que hicieran su cara. Cada lado representaría un aspecto de su arte. Así que hice exactamente eso. Decidimos expresar los dos lados de arte en su página web y unir sus seguidores en un mismo lugar.

Branding Case Study: Ninah Mars

Ninah Mars is one of those super cool artists that you want to become friends with. And when I say artist, I mean it in every sense of the word. Singer. Painter. Super cool rocker chic. This is her brand story.

I came across Ninah Mars by chance. Even though she’s a well known singer from Venezuela, I wasn’t intertwined with her that much. Of all places, I came across Ninah through Snapchat. Yes, believe it or not, I’m pretty big on Snapchat. You can follow me as @Fabipaolini, although I do warn you that I snap in Spanish.

Anyways, a Snapper (is that how you call it?) I follow recommended Ninah and I started following her. I instantly fell in love with her brand. So cool! She’s this kind of person that simply breathes and lives in art. She paints really cool acrylics and writes great rock songs as well. So, when she started asking through Snapchat whether there were any designers out there that could help her with her brand + website, I jumped in. Ninah and I hit it off pretty quickly. It felt like we had known each other for ages.

There were a few issues that she needed to address in terms of her brand. One one side, it was completely multilingual. She had an English speaking audience (specially considering a few of her songs are in English). She had a Spanish-speaking audience in Venezuela, and she had an Italian-speaking audience since she lives and works in Rome. Another problem Ninah had was that she need to bring together her audience that followed her for art and the ones that followed her for music. You see, the ones that were fans of her music didn’t necessarily know about her artwork and vice versa. So, we needed to bring it all together. Another thing that was going on was that her brand was pretty old. Her logo was outdated and her website didn’t have relevant info anymore. When I came across her site, this is what it looked like.

It wasn’t bad, it was just old and not very chic. We wanted to create a brand that looked cool, modern and bold at the same time.


We began her branding process by defining her brand and creating her Brand Brief. A Brand Brief is a document I create for my clients where we analyze every aspect of the brand. So, we cover everything from the brand’s mission, personality and communication style. Ninah Mars Art + Music Brand Brief Branding Logo Web Fabi Paolini
Once the internal part of her brand was defined, we moved on to create her new logo and look.

The brand really felt in tune with her look. This is one of those cases where I simply knew what I wanted for her logo the minute I started researching for her brand. It was almost her own signature, but not quite. I did a few variations to the original font to make it have a better balance and style. I did the same with her logo icon as well.

The next challenge was making her website look super chic and cool while bringing her two artist sides together. Ninah has done this really cool photoshoot and she had the idea to put 2 photos together to make her face. Each side would represent an aspect of her art. So that’s exactly what we did. We decided to bring in her 2 sides into her site and join her followers in a common place.

All in all, her brand made a complete change. From looking like an amateur artist to showing how amazing he brand is and the cool things she creates.
