DESIGNed to be period ready
Teena wins the Red Dot Award for Brand & Communication Design
August 2022, Germany - The jury is unanimous: Teena deserves a Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2022 for high design quality. The innovative period tracker for teens proves that design and function can be combined - and that science can be colorful and cool.
True to the motto "In search of good design and creativity", submitted projects and brands from all over the world were put through their paces and only those with extraordinary design quality were finally awarded. Teena gained the attention of the international expert panel of (former) professors, communication designers and journalists and can now proudly wear the renowned design award.
The idea behind Teena
"Put an end to anxiety and fear of the first period, bring on sound cycle knowledge and accurate period and cycle forecasts!" - Teena aims to accompany tweens and teens through this exciting time with curated content to help them understand their own body
To the look & feel
This is exactly what is reflected in the brand CI and communication design: bright colors, iconic shapes and humorous illustrations convey medical expertise with playful ease. Teena's look & feel is thus precisely tailored to the needs of Gen Z: The colorful artwork represents the diversity of experience during the unique time of puberty. Even topics that are normally unpleasant (such as discharge or diarrhea during the period) are presented in a positive light. Teena is designed to convey information about the menstrual cycle, female anatomy, and hormone shifts in a personal, encouraging, and understandable way. The smart period tracker combines science with educational content and contemporary design.
"The mission behind Teena is to lift up and empower young women. And who better to empathize with teens than women who have experienced the same? That's why we collaborated with female designers, illustrators and artists to bring our vision to life." - Natalie Rechberg-Egly, CEO of Valley Electronics
"Stringent brand management and its strong appearance have always been significant for customer loyalty. To emerge victorious from the broad and international field of participants in the Red Dot Design Awards demonstrates both the convincing performance and the quality and design leadership of the respective brand." - Dr. Peter Zec, Initiator and CEO of Red Dot
