GLISS label relaunch 2024 – Revolutionizing haircare: Unveiling the new GLISS experience
GLISS KUR has always been the expert in hair care. Today, it offers solutions for all hair problems and is more than just a hair care product – it is a lifestyle product. The technological brand perception has accordingly shifted to a lifestyle-orientated, natural look for the GLISS label relaunch 2024.
We are proud to work as the lead agency for GLISS KUR and bring the new products to market. With 15 years of experience in beauty packaging, we are a reliable partner for innovative and contemporary design.
The icon has always been crucial to the visual identity of the GLISS KUR brand. When creating the packaging, our priority was to preserve the brand essence and visual characteristics to ensure its recognition in the market. Therefore, we simplified the icon to strengthen the portfolio.
It’s amazing! I have been designing the brand image of Schwarzkopf Gliss packaging for 25 years, since 2009 with my own agency and the baries design team. Joana-Maria Bauchwitz, owner and creative director of baries design

As part of the redesign of GLISS KUR’s visual identity, the brand logo has been given a contemporary facelift. Further, the name GLISS KUR now stands strongly as GLISS only. It embodies a sophisticated and high-quality image. This strategic reduction on the label not only emphasizes the modern appeal of the brand, but also creates more space for visual representations and enables a focused and refined presentation.
Gliss‘ Aqua Revive collection was launched in 2020 and achieved remarkable success due to its distinctive aesthetic. Its design features a liquid sphere surrounded by caustic reflections and floristic algae-inspired leaves, which conveys a sense of well-being, relaxation, and wellness.
New packaging design elements were carefully selected to enhance the overall visual concept. The success of the collection prompted us to incorporate the icon’s visualization into the brand design. In line with the new brand strategy, we have intentionally positioned the most important visual elements outside the conventional text field.
Schwarzkopf GLISS maintains its position as a hair technology expert, emphasizing its unique advantages. To reinforce this message, we have included the square element from the previous design as a background for the text. This strategic decision not only enhances brand recognition among our current customers, but also ensures optimal readability and a well-defined textual structure. Thanks to the design structure, GLISS has achieved a cleaner and more minimalist appearance.
Haptiq Icon
Moreover, we also created the Haptiq System icon. This transformative and distinctive symbol with a competent touch was designed to transcend categories from coloration to care and styling. The black and white color code effortlessly blends into communication. Consumers will experience the tactile touch, accompanied by the integration of IQ, reaffirming the brand’s dedication to intelligent hair solutions.

“A summer day outside” – for a beautiful summer at home
It’s finally summer! Due to the pandemic, travelling around the world is still easier said than done for most people. But luckily you don’t have to travel far to feel the sun and summer breeze on your face. Flower fields, bike rides and lovely patterned summer dresses are just a few of the things that turn a summer at home into fun.
If we think about summer at baries design, the Summer Repair line by Gliss Kur is one of the first things that pop up in our mind as in recent years we were consulted to design its limited packaging edition.
This year, we give the consumers a summer feeling without showing exotic beaches or sceneries. „A summer day outside“ is the theme of the Summer Repair design 2021.
But this is not the only reason why this year’s summer edition is special: for the first time we will design our summer edition straight onto our brand-new bottle shapes which we developed during the Gliss Kur relaunch last year!
Our work
The Gliss Kur summer repair edition is a product the consumers are looking forward to every summer. They love spending time outside in the sun. However, sun exposure, salt water and chlorine can cause damage leading to faded colour and dry hair. Consumers want to enjoy the summer without worrying about possible hair damage and thus appreciate beauty products with an emotional design they can relate to.
Therefore, the new summer repair design has a strong colour coding and design elements that evoke an enjoyable summer feeling. Especially the big pink flower in the centre of the design alludes to the floral scent of the formula. It sits on top of a light blue background that symbolizes the fresh blue of the summer sky. The blue colour complements the yellow bottle that stands for the warmth of the sun. Additionally, the design is topped off by a colourful and playful pattern. All in all, the composition reflects the warm feeling of a beautiful summer day outside.

In 2021, Schwarzkopf launched a new innovative treatment solution developed together with baries design. The Gliss Kur 7 sec Express Repair treatment does not only repair hair in the glimpse of an eye but also immediately stands out on the shelf due to its strong colour effect providing a unique look. All these features are reflected in the packaging design.
New treatment design, combining label and bottle in a symbiosis of transparency, contrast & colour
With increasingly demanding lifestyles, the need for faster solutions and quick results is constantly growing. Inspired by Korean skincare traditions, the new in-shower transformative hair masks offer the benefits of a traditional mask in just 7 seconds, delivering intense repair for exceptional hair quality. These water-active masks contain a high concentration of powerful ingredients, achieving maximum results in minimum time.
Our work
When designing the product, it was very important to showcase the innovative effect of the mask which delivers the ultimate result in just 7 seconds. Therefore, we highlighted the 7 seconds with the help of concise typography. In addition, number and text are cut out so that more of the liquid mask inside the bottle is visible. At the same time the coloured liquid matches the respective signature ingredient such as black pearl serum, cranberry extract & marula oil. Together with the black label and the gold finish contours, the overall design impression is reduced, yet sophisticated and premium.

Animation and CGI as parts of our digital future
As a packaging agency, we naturally move with the times and evolve alongside the digital future. For this reason, our clients already appreciate our expertise in the field of animation and CGI.
For this project the Schauma and Fa team tasked us with developing an advertising campaign for the social media space. The aim of the campaign under the main theme „UEFA EURO 2020“ was to activate customers for a competition. Schauma and Fa have launched matching products on the market, which represent the players of the national team. The aim is to increase sales through an accompanying lucky draw. If a customer purchases four products of the series, they can win a national team gym bag for free.
Our work
When designing the animation, we were inspired by the DFB’s world of colours and incorporated the rules of the overarching corporate design.
Our only restrictions were to adhere to the font „DFB Sans“ and to the proportions of the different colours. Likewise, the bottles of the respective players had to be represented.
Despite the constraints, we managed to give the video a pleasant flow and a dynamic look that will catch the eye of the target group and hopefully meets our client’s expectations..
One of the tasks was to adapt the video frequency to different asset formats, which have now been placed on the popular German internet site „Fussball.de“. Furthermore, the assets were published on the Facebook and Instagram pages of Fussball.de.
This advertising campaign is based on the previous campaign we developed last year. However, due to the Corona crisis the European Football Championship is only taking place this year. In the previous campaign, football clubs that suffered from the pandemic’s repurcussions were supported through the purchase of the products.
