The Concept
The brand identity strikes a delicate balance, marrying whimsy with gravitas to engage students without overwhelming them. At its core lies the logo: a sleek, rounded typeface coupled with a strategically placed box emblem. Complementing this is a secondary logo, cleverly incorporating the initials ‘J’ and ‘M’, honoring the co-founders.

The Character Illustrations
Adding a charming dimension to the project are three endearing characters, each inspired by the tools within Jumar’s Busy Boxes - a box, a pencil, and a book. These characters playfully interact with educational materials, forging a unique connection with young learners.
Meet Boxie, the adventurous box, symbolizing the excitement of receiving a special package filled with surprises and learning opportunities.
Alongside Boxie is Bookworm Benny, the book-loving bibliophile, who dives into worlds of knowledge, encouraging children to explore the magic of storytelling and reading.
Completing the trio is Pencil Pete, the master of creativity and expression, inspiring children to unleash their inner artists and thinkers.
Together, Boxie, Bookworm Benny, and Pencil Pete bring our educational material to life, bridging the gap between learning and fun, and igniting a passion for knowledge and creativity in children.
Completing the design narrative are captivating illustrations and the brand’s signature pattern, seamlessly integrated into product packaging, ensuring each Jumar experience is as visually enchanting as it is educational.
