    Adjust the Iconography

    I really love the color schemes, the gradients, the very light accenting backgrounds. I think the design is generally very clean.

    I want to love the iconography, but it doesn't feel quite right yet. My brain is expecting to see a kiwi fruit somewhere in the iconography, and since kiwis are pretty unique but symbolic of New Zealand (as you've pointed out) I wonder if mostly only New Zealanders will "get" the iconography.

    Since the product is for swimwear, perhaps the iconography should contain something more swimming related than NZ-specific related. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if their products became internationally appreciated products, right? How about a silhouette of a swimmer?

    I'm very impressed with your design talent!
