Overview
what is GROOFT?
ROOFT is a complete slime kit
for children that allows them to create
their own unique slime at home.
The theme of our subscription box is
“Fantasy,” so kids and parents will be
able to choose from a variety of
fantasy creatures each month,
and receive an entire kit dedicated to
this theme. For example: mermaids,
fairies, wizards, witches, unicorns,
trolls, monsters. You name it, we have
it! Themes will all be apparent from the
outside of the box, to the ingredients,
and overall branding. Consumers will
then have their complete kit of slime
creation delivered to their door.
MISSION STATEMENT: Just stupid fun! Craft your own slime how you choose with our custom fantasy kits.
From trolls to mermaids, we’ve gotcha covered to create the most unique slime imaginable. Too often schoolwork
and extracurriculars get in the way of kids being kids. Who’s with me? Our revolutionary slime subscription box
is a great way to get a fun and unique craft delivered to your door, complete with everything necessary to make
the perfect gooey concoction.

History
why we exist
Our beloved subscription box was created by
Daniel Miranda, to simply be stupid fun for kids.
Too often schoolwork and extracurriculars get
in the way of kids being kids. GROOFT is intended
as a silly way to get tactile while including specific
interests of the child in a stylized, all-in-one slime kit.
This gooey concoction has grown in popularity over the
past few years, but it can often be limited to what you
have on hand or at local stores. Our box provides
specifically themed-out boxes filled with everything
you could possibly want or need to make creative
and unique slime at home!

Get Gooey
From Site to Doorstep
From website, to doorstep, to table, the packaging will be bold and fun,
making consumers know what has come the second they lay eyes on it.
The buyer has control over the type of slime kit they want, with many options
to choose from. The box and everything inside will be themed out to your
choice of fantasy character so you know exactly what you are getting, bright
colors and fun designs will make it stand out to kids and parents more than a
plain brown box. The experience of making your own slime is just fun. There’s
nothing more to it. Each kit will come with appropriate containers to store
your slime in until your next shipment.

Our Logo
recognize us
fantasy slime
Our logo combines the words Goo and Craft
into GROOFT, creating our iconic company name.
It features a hand-drawn type that has varying thicks and
thins and blobby formation, that is all tied together with a
slime splat that covers the entire surface of the word.
For a more contained logo look, you would use this
version of our logo with a blob shape containing the
word GROOFT reversed out.

Logo Variations
recognize us
The smaller variations create less surface space by condensing down to
just the G or a cutout G in a splat symbol.
The versatility of GROOFT allow for slight variations to our main logo.
There is an option for two smaller marks and a larger mark without the
tagline that reads “Fantasy Slime.”

Clearspace
give it some breathing room
fantasy slime
In order to preserve GROOFT’s logo integrity, we ask that you
always leave clearspace around it. The minimum clear space of
the logo is the width of the O in GROOFT. This insures that the
logo is never placed too close to any other information or graphics,
and can still shine through to its full potential.
This clearspace should be maintained at all costs when
scaled up or down in size.
Please do not go any smaller than 2 inches for the word
GROOFT in wither option of the logo. Any smaller and
the splat will not read and the word becomes even more
baffling!

meant to look handmade and fun.

Paper Works
Genty
Paper Works is a similarly imperfect font used in
the tagline of the logo.
Genty is seen being used throughout the brand in major
headlines. It is a blobby script that work s wonderfully
with our loose and fun style.

Book Medium Heavy Bold
Futura PT is our main foundation for type. You will see it
in smaller headlines, bold-ed out words, and regular text.
Book is used throughout our brand as the main text
weight. Any description or text boxes will be in Book.
Medium is used rarely, but if there needs to be a slight
differentiation it is the go-to. Heavy is used when
Bold is too bold. And Bold is used whenever you
have a headline or title, as well as wherever our brand
GROOFT is mentioned.

examples
This month’s subscription box features a Mermaid
theme. It mixes elements of slime splats and seashells
to create a fun and colorful under-sea experience.

Key Principles:
Maintain a fun and kid friendly design.
Do not use colors outside of the previously
assigned color palette.
Labels designed for small pots of glitter and other slime add-ins
Our illustrations are only flat vector style,
so do not make anything look 3D.
Headlines can be layered to add a flat shadow
effect, but don’t get too carried away.
