Nina and Tanja aren't just a beach volleyball duo, they're a partnership built on years of trust, shared grit, and a genuine love for the game. The goal was to design an identity that reflects exactly that: athletic and confident, but never forced or overly polished. Something that feels as real as they are.

The mark combines two symbols that tell their story. A butterfly carries the personal side, representing change, lightness, and new beginnings. After Nina's maternity break, the two returned to competition stronger and more grounded than ever, and the butterfly holds that moment. A volleyball sits at the heart of it, grounding the mark in the sport and the shared journey that defines them. Together, the two shapes form something that's bold enough for the court and meaningful enough to last.

The palette is pure energy with feeling: deep eerie black makes a statement, mauve brings a confident femininity, and sand tones keep everything light and open. Together they hit that balance of strong and soft, powerful and joyful. The identity stretches across a full website and brand system, always feeling cohesive, always feeling like them.
