Flolube. Giving industrial lubricants a smarter identity.

Flolube came to me with a genuinely interesting challenge — to brand a new range of industrial lubricants that aren’t just hard-working, but forward-thinking too. These products are engineered for tough environments — high-load, high-temperature, heavy-duty applications — but made with sustainability in mind. What they needed was an identity that could hold its own in a technical, no-nonsense sector, while still feeling modern, premium, and different.

Industrial lubricants aren’t typically known for their branding. The sector leans heavily on the same visual language: hard lines, bold type, lots of red and black. Flolube needed to break that mould. The challenge was to create something that still spoke to engineers, buyers and specifiers — but in a way that felt clean, intelligent, and reflective of the product’s more progressive credentials.

It was also important to communicate performance clearly and confidently — no fluff, just a clear sense of trust and technical capability.

The spark came from nature — specifically, the beetle. Some species naturally produce lubricants in their joints to reduce wear and friction. That idea, paired with the beetle’s distinctive iridescent shell, gave the creative direction: natural intelligence meets engineered performance.

Rather than taking it literally, I worked a shifting blue-green gradient into the identity — a subtle nod to the beetle’s shell that also adds depth and differentiation on the shelf. The logotype was drawn to flow smoothly, echoing the precision and consistency of the product itself. The result is fluid, clean and modern — without losing the weight and authority needed in the industrial space.

On-pack, product benefits were translated into a series of bold, easy-to-scan icons — “Water-Repellent,” “Shock-Resistant,” “Durable Protection” — making the performance story immediately clear, even at a glance.

This is industrial lubricant branding with a bit more thought, a bit more flow — built to perform and designed to last.
