Dr. Squatch

A bigfoot forward in design for men's personal care

Dr. Squatch experienced rapid DTC growth and built a cult-like following through humor-driven marketing, meme culture, and a distinct brand personality that resonated with male consumers. As the brand expanded into retail and omni-channel distribution, the packaging and identity needed to evolve to communicate the same personality and product value without relying on digital touchpoints.

The insight was that Dr. Squatch’s strongest differentiator was its humorous, approachable relationship with consumers. The opportunity was to preserve the charm and irreverence of the brand while improving scalability, shelf communication, and recognition in retail environments where consumers make quick purchasing decisions.

The refreshed system modernized core brand marks, introduced the custom “Squatch Script” wordmark, expanded typography and iconography systems, and added playful on-pack messaging that recreated the engaging DTC experience in-store. The result was a more scalable, retail-ready identity that strengthened shelf presence, supported omni-channel growth, and extended naturally into major collaborations including Star Wars, Batman, and Area 51, helping reinforce Dr. Squatch as a standout voice in men’s personal care.
