Earplugtest was created to solve a very specific but important problem: helping users understand whether their in-ear hearing protection is actually working as intended. As a specialist service focused on ear protection testing, the business needed a brand and website that could communicate technical credibility while still feeling clear and accessible to the people using it. The challenge was to present a scientific process in a way that felt trustworthy, straightforward and easy to engage with.

The logo and wider brand identity were central to that. It needed to feel technical, scientific and dependable, with something of the visual reassurance associated with familiar UK healthcare graphics. We built the mark around the standard graphic representation of an ear, then refined it so the tragus became a subtle lowercase “t” for test. This gave the logo a direct connection to hearing and assessment, while making the identity feel both purposeful and distinctive. The colour palette was just as important. We chose a peppermint green tone to reflect the kinds of colours often associated with healthcare and clinical environments, then pushed it towards a more saturated RGB treatment to give the brand a fresher, cleaner and more contemporary edge.
Our work

The finished brand and website gave Earplugtest a clear, modern and scientifically credible identity that felt trustworthy and easy to use.

Alongside the brand identity, we designed the website to explain the service clearly and support the online testing experience. The company’s test uses a sequence of tones, beeps and buzzes across different frequencies while the user wears their ear protection, helping determine what can and cannot be heard and therefore how effective the earplugs are in real use. That meant the website had to do more than simply look professional; it had to make the process feel understandable, reliable and approachable for first-time users.

The result was a joined-up brand and digital presence that helped Earplugtest present itself as both innovative and credible. By combining a healthcare-influenced visual identity with a clear and focused website experience, the business was better able to explain what it does, why it matters and how users can engage with the service confidently.
