THE QUESTION BEHIND THE STORY

How can a name
carry the flavour of an idea?

A nuts brand can be named in lettering. But what if we could see the product in its symbol, too? We read the six studies as different ways of answering the same question.

02 / EXPLORATION

Six routes.
One name.

CLIENT APPROVED

A product becomes a flower

Almond, pistachio shells and a lotus meet within a single symbol. This is the direction approved by the client.

Each route explores a different expression of the brand.

03 / INSIDE THE APPROVED IDENTITY

01 / 04

The product, within the symbol.

An almond. Pistachio shells. A lotus flower. Three cues read together as a single mark, connecting the name to the product.

02 / 04

Then comes the name.

Arabic lettering gives the symbol a name and a voice. Green runs through the name; fuchsia returns in the descriptor to connect the lettering to the flower.

03 / 04

A mark with more than one format.

A primary lockup, a horizontal version and a circular seal. The composition adapts to its space while retaining its colours and character.

04 / 04

Colours connect the details.

Green and fuchsia on a cream ground. A contrast connecting symbol and lettering, ready to extend into patterns and applications.

Keep scrolling. Each detail opens the next scene.

04 / FROM MARK TO EXPERIENCE

The identity continues
beyond the logo.

01 / THE PRODUCT

The symbol grows into the pack.

We imagine the symbol’s leaves extending across the pouch, alongside a window onto the nuts inside.

02 / THE GIFT

From a single pack to a coherent family.

The mark repeats as a pattern, while green and fuchsia trade places across the box, lids and labels.

These packaging mockups are conceptual visuals illustrating the identity’s extension, not photographs of commercial production.

05 / WHAT REMAINS

An idea you can read.
An identity you can extend.

The client approved the second direction without giving a specific reason. Our reading: a mark carrying product cues, lettering carrying the name, and compositions that let the identity move between spaces.
