The design features fashionable salon-expertise representing an urban and modern style.
Syoss is a hair styling range with formulas developed and used by professional hairdressers and hairstylists. The Syoss formulas are especially designed to meet the specific needs of each hairstyle. With the new MicroSculpt particles (fine micro-polymers) it is possible to achieve long-lasting hold while creating an invisible and effortless finished look. This new lightweight formula contains Japanese ingredients and conditioning agents for better care and nourishment of the hair.
When designing the hair styling range, it was important to retain the benefits of the previous design language which featured eye-catching colours as well as consistent, clear product information. In addition, the colours helped the customer to distinguish more easily between the different product lines. The objective was to redesign the packaging in order to incorporate the new “Syoss care concept” inspired by J-Beauty. In response to the demand for non-harmful styling ingredients, the brand’s mission was to create a design language that reflects these new values. Thus the design should be minimalist, clean, unisex, of high quality and well organized. Moreover, the design should incorporate the styling category look and be eye-catching on shelve.
The colour gradient on the iconic black Syoss container guarantees strong shelf impact. Depending on each selected Japanese ingredient the gradient on the container varies in colour. Additionally, the design includes an innovative and artistic icon, picturing the hold level. This eye-catching detail also embodies the professional aspect of the design. The design shows fashionable Salon-expertise representing an urban and modern style.
Smart chic, effortless elegance and a trustworthy quality merge in this exceptional design.

In 2020 Schwarzkopf relaunched it’s professionally performing hair color brand Syoss with a baries packaging design.
Briefing
- Create a packaging design for a professional, but still approachable brand look & feel
- Drive the main focus on the key benefits „precision & intensity“
- Draw new attention on the hair color & refine the model approach
Our design concept
Syoss is Schwarzkopf’s professional hair color brand in the retail shelves. The brand ensures most precise and intense results, which should be more notably highlighted within this relaunch 2020.
Accordingly, we worked with a just as much precise visual concept. The front layout shows a new diagonal cut, that complementary to the model integrates immaculate hair texture. This new hair-triangle with the prominent shade number puts a new focus on the outstanding hair quality, which will be reached by using Syoss hair coloration. The sharp cut visualizes precision, whereas the diagonal shape adds a new modern dynamic, that is also found in the details of the new model approach. Also, the new elements do visualize the technological performance of the patented colorist ingredient mix.

Strengthening the brand
Regardless the new implementations, the brand personality is still pure and clear, due to the bold black main color. Furthermore, the successfully proven color coding in black, silver and red – or blue for the lightening shades – ensures the brand recognition to the current user. The brands traditional black professionalism is now additionally underlined by clear color differentiation. This applies especially in case of the old fading between the models head line and the logo on the previous design. The new clear line between the both with the anthracite background behind the model are now strengthening the logo on top, which has got a clear standing on black.
Besides the color differentiation, we kept the horizontal layout division in logo, model and text block. Likewise, the very individual block text design in the bottom area kept this layout. Yet, we simplified the text elements to strengthen the consumers focus and set a new content-related focus. Especially the lightener shades benefit from the new structure, that implements the „Levels of Lift“ in the text box for a clear contextual communication.

Surround design
The precise, salon-like color result is the brands key benefit and need to be communicated to the consumer with a more prominent approach. Accordingly, the typical color guidance system was moved from the back to the top of the pack. This sets a new focus on the clear match between recommended base colors and achievable color results.
We also did design the icons on the side of the packaging. They communicate the usage in the precise coloration process in a way that fits the clear visual approach of the new facing.
Model Approach Syoss Baseline Relaunch 2020
Model approach
The brand Syoss was seeking for a new model inspiration that keeps the professional brand identity but appears more approachable.
The brand is historically catching the consumers eye with unconventionally models with hidden eyes. Those have usually been covered by sharp fringe hair styles. Based on this, we kept the unique concept but modernized the style.
Now, the models have a dynamic hair cut line that covers the eyes in a more natural, not-perfect, more unexpected and approachable way. Nevertheless, the strong, mystery character and most importantly the perfectly professional hair quality are maintained.
