The Challenge
The Challenge
Ethos Book Publishers had a story to tell. Their Noah and Blue series was written for children but built around big ideas — lessons about kindness, identity, and growing up — and the tagline summarized the intent: "Big Lessons for Little Hearts." The books existed and the writing was done. What surrounded them did not match. There was no brand identity carrying that idea anywhere beyond the page itself.
There was no logo, no color palette, and no design system — nothing that tied the series together visually or gave it a consistent look to apply across formats and marketing. When the publisher went to sell online, they had nowhere of their own to send people. The books reached readers only through Amazon, which meant no direct sales channel and no storefront under the publisher's own brand.
The series was also available in more than one format — paperback, e-book, and an Amazon Audible audiobook — but there was no single place where a reader could find all of them. The publisher needed two things that did not exist yet: a brand built from scratch, and a store that could handle every format in one place.
The Solution
The Solution
NetAesthetics built a complete brand identity and a WooCommerce store from the ground up, with every design decision made for the audience the books were written for — children and their parents. The identity used simple shapes, warm colors, and clean typography, and the illustrations reference the books without copying them. The intent was for the system to read as the world of Noah and Blue rather than as a generic kids' brand.
The store was built on WooCommerce because the client already had a WordPress setup, which made it the natural fit. It gave them full control over product pages, pricing, and formats without paying platform fees on every sale. Each format — paperback, e-book, and audiobook — got its own product listing with a clear label, and the store connected to Amazon Audible for the audio version, so customers could buy any format in one checkout. The build used WordPress, WooCommerce, JavaScript, PHP, and jQuery, hosted on IONOS.
NetAesthetics also created device mockups showing how the brand looked on phones, tablets, and in print. These let the client see the full system — not just the logo — before anything was finalized, and they doubled as assets the client could use in marketing. The outcome was one visual style applied consistently across every format, and a direct online sales channel the publisher owned.
