Costa Brazil

Pale matching vessels with small, deliberate bilingual labels

Costa Brazil’s selected Hotel Collection duo uses two matching pale rectangular pump bottles with broad faces and softly rounded edges. Very small centred black text identifies the product in Portuguese and English, then separates the shared Jungle Complex line, producer name and quantity with open space. The black pumps provide most of the contrast at a distance. In the water-side photograph, one bottle stands on the other, turning the pair into a simple geometric composition. The restrained design creates visual unity, although distinguishing shampoo from conditioner depends on reading the small names rather than a strong colour or shape difference.

Color Palette

Approximate colours interpreted from photography. These are screen references, not official brand colours or print specifications.

Pack body

Warm pale stone
#E6E0D9
Approximate opaque bottle colour. Its subtle warm-grey tone separates the vessels from a bright white field without adding a conspicuous variant colour.

Ink

Near-black
#171718
Shared visual tone for small front lettering and pumps. The large dark hardware gives the pale forms a recognisable upper endpoint, while fine text remains secondary.

Typography

Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.

Product names sit in a compact two-line bilingual block. A smaller shared formula-line name follows, then a larger gap separates the producer name, with quantity below it. The hierarchy is intentionally shallow: changes in spacing and position do more work than dramatic weight contrasts. Because both vessels use the same layout and palette, the actual product words carry the distinction between shampoo and conditioner.

Structure & Proportions

Visual proportions and finish previews are illustrative. Confirmed construction details and uncertainties are distinguished in the study notes.

Proportions

Purpose	Value	Preview
Body shape	Broad flat-looking front with enough depth to form a softened rectangular volume rather than a thin flat pouch. No physical dimensions are measured from the water-side scene.	—
Text field	A small central-to-lower information group leaves most of the upper face open. This negative space is more prominent than any individual text line.	—
Pair consistency	Both bottles share the same visual body and pump proportions. The lower bottle is rotated for staging, not a different horizontal container design.	—

Shapes

Element	Value	Preview
Bottle body	Rounded rectangular block with soft shoulder transitions and broad front face.
Pump	Dark cylindrical collar with a short right-angled horizontal outlet.
Information block	Narrow centred text stack without a visibly contrasting geometric label border.

Finishes

Low-sheen pale body
Broad bottle faces, observed appearance rather than a verified coating. · matte
Reflective black pump
Pump collar and actuator, with water droplets from the photographic setting. · gloss

Formats and materials


Formats	Two matching 450 ml / 15.2 fl oz pump bottles, identified on the photographed fronts as shampoo and conditioner. Each has a broad rectangular face, softened corners and a dark pump on a short neck.
Materials	The official duo page identifies the bottles as I’m Green polyethylene derived from sugarcane. This is a brand-reported bottle material specification; it does not establish the material composition of the pump or every label/decoration component., No verified resin percentage, component mass, pump construction or print method is supplied by this study. The source’s broader carbon language is not converted into an independently verified claim about the assembled package.
Closures	Each black pump has a broad cylindrical collar and a short horizontal actuator. The selected image shows the pumps extended, but no internal mechanism, locking sequence or dispensing output is inspected. A refill mechanism is not established.
Decoration	Sparse black lettering sits directly against the pale-looking front field with no obvious large contrasting label rectangle. The image cannot distinguish direct print from a closely matched label substrate.

Front Panel

Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.

A shared centred grid is repeated across the two products. All major information is kept small, with gaps establishing separate groups. There is no visible coloured band or large functional icon to distinguish the pair. The result is quiet as a set, but it asks the user to locate and read the names to choose the correct bottle.

Zone	Content
Bilingual function	Portuguese naming sits above English in two concise uppercase lines. The shampoo and conditioner differ here while retaining the same central alignment.
Shared formula line	The small Jungle Complex wording follows the product block. It links the pair without competing with their functional names.
Producer identity	The Costa Brazil name appears farther down after a larger interval. This separation gives the producer a stable position while leaving the product function first in the reading order.
Volume	Both photographed fronts show 450 ml / 15.2 fl oz beneath the producer. Matching quantity placement reinforces the paired system without introducing another graphic accent.

Range System

The official product page identifies the Hotel Collection shampoo-and-conditioner duo. Two physical products are visible, so the shared form and front hierarchy are directly comparable. Their main distinction is bilingual function naming, not a separate colour family or different closure. This observation should not be extended to every Costa Brazil product.

The shampoo front uses the shorter Xampú / Shampoo block, while the conditioner accommodates longer bilingual words in the same general position. Similar placement helps the pair read as a system.
For an original adaptation, preserve the calm shared grid but test whether users can distinguish the two functions with wet hands, reduced vision or a quick glance. A discreet additional cue may be useful; the selected photo alone cannot establish identification performance.

Back of Pack & Shelf

The rear and underside of both bottles are unseen. The official product page provides ingredient and packaging information, but no verified back-panel map is reconstructed from it.

Confirm actual ingredient lists, use information and batch placement from production artwork before mapping the reverse.
The brand separates pump disposal from bottle guidance, supporting component-specific discussion rather than a blanket whole-pack claim.
No hotel wall bracket, tamper-resistant mounting or refill accessory appears in the selected image; hospitality naming alone does not establish such hardware.

On shelf

The matching pale blocks and dark pumps create a cohesive set from a distance. Individual product distinction is much weaker until the text becomes readable. That tradeoff is part of the design analysis: visual calm does not automatically mean effortless selection. No user test or shelf-recognition study is available here. A practical evaluation should include the bottles side by side at actual scale, in typical bathroom light, rather than only in the enlarged campaign image.

Imagery

The conditioner lies horizontally in shallow water, with the shampoo upright on top. Smooth pale faces contrast with the rounded stones visible below the water, while black pumps punctuate the ends of the stacked forms. The muted sky and distant horizon keep the palette restrained. Water droplets add tactile atmosphere without hiding the small names. The arrangement demonstrates a graphic pairing, not a tested stacking feature, waterproof marking guarantee or instruction to place the products outdoors.

Guidelines

Editorial principles for an original design brief, not official brand guidelines.

Do

Keep the two functional names consistently positioned across the pair.
Test the small lettering at actual bottle size and under realistic bathroom light.
Use component-specific language when discussing the polyethylene bodies and unspecified pumps.
Distinguish the rotated campaign pose from the intended upright dispensing orientation.

Don't

Do not assume identical colours and forms make shampoo and conditioner instantly distinguishable.
Do not infer soft-touch coating, ceramic material or a hotel mounting system from the pale body.
Do not convert a sugarcane-derived material statement into a biodegradability or whole-package carbon claim.
Do not fill the open upper face with extra messages without reconsidering the intentionally quiet hierarchy.

It produces extensive open space, but also puts pressure on the legibility of each functional word. ### Matching dark pumps **Role:** Connect the pair structurally The repeated black hardware makes both products immediately related even when one is rotated in the photograph. ### Bilingual naming **Role:** Identify function in two languages Two short lines carry the distinction between products without a separate icon or colour band. Longer translations must be tested within the same narrow text area. ## Do's and Don'ts ### Do - Keep the two functional names consistently positioned across the pair. - Test the small lettering at actual bottle size and under realistic bathroom light. - Use component-specific language when discussing the polyethylene bodies and unspecified pumps. - Distinguish the rotated campaign pose from the intended upright dispensing orientation. ### Don't - Do not assume identical colours and forms make shampoo and conditioner instantly distinguishable. - Do not infer soft-touch coating, ceramic material or a hotel mounting system from the pale body. - Do not convert a sugarcane-derived material statement into a biodegradability or whole-package carbon claim. - Do not fill the open upper face with extra messages without reconsidering the intentionally quiet hierarchy. ## Surfaces | Level | Name | Value | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 0 | Pale bottle field | `#E6E0D9` | Creates a calm common ground for the two front layouts. | | 1 | Dark hardware and type | `#171718` | Supplies contrast at two scales: large pump silhouette and small information. | ## Front Panel Layout A shared centred grid is repeated across the two products.

Its subtle warm-grey tone separates the vessels from a bright white field without adding a conspicuous variant colour. - Near-black: #171718 — Shared visual tone for small front lettering and pumps. The large dark hardware gives the pale forms a recognisable upper endpoint, while fine text remains secondary. Use two matching pale rounded rectangular pump bottles with dark hardware. Repeat a centred bilingual hierarchy while making each function genuinely readable. Preserve a calm two-colour relationship without copying exact brand words or spacing. Image prompt: Design an original fictional shampoo-and-conditioner pair in matching warm pale rounded rectangular pump bottles with black horizontal actuators. Use compact but clearly readable bilingual function names, a smaller shared descriptor, a separated fictional producer name and consistent quantity placement. Keep generous open space while ensuring the two products can be distinguished. Present upright side by side on a quiet neutral surface with soft light; add no unverified hotel mounting or refill hardware. If specifying a sugarcane-derived polyethylene body, keep pump material separate and avoid unsupported environmental claims. Use entirely new artwork and names; do not reproduce existing logos or the Costa Brazil wordmark. ## Study sources & limitations - [Hotel Collection Shampoo + Conditioner — Costa Brazil](https://livecostabrazil.com/products/xampu-e-condicionador-com-elixir-da-floresta) - [Costa Brazil — Shampoos + Conditioners](https://livecostabrazil.com/collections/shampoos-conditioners) - Bottle polyethylene is brand-reported; pump and decoration materials are not specified. - No original font attribution, exact colour reference or dimensional drawing inspected. - Reverse, underside, pump internals and any mounting accessories are unseen. - Small-type usability is a design tradeoff, not a measured test result. ### Evidence notes - **structure (source):** Official duo page specifies I’m Green polyethylene derived from sugarcane for the bottles.
