Redesign of fish nuggets "Well-fed Dad": the benefits and appetite in the new package
Task and brand
The LINA home products factory has been on the Russian market since 2001 and has trademarks such as "From dust to heat" and "Well-fed Dad"
The products of the brand for more than 10 years are loved by the buyer for their taste and quality, but the stylistically differentiated design of the goods did not cause a proper associative line in the consumer.
Within the framework of the existing brand it was necessary to update the packaging for the product “fish nuggets”, while highlighting the UTP of the product within the trademark “Well-fed Dad”. Create a single comprehensible and easy to further differentiate design system. As always, it is important to move away from competitors, to show the advantages of the product to the target audience.
With these objectives, LINA turned to DS1 branding.
Before After
Among the brands specializing in the same industry prevailed “traditional” as the company “Miratorg” or “emotionally inflammatory” like the brand “Hot thing” positioning. In order to stand out from other nuggets and finger food products, it was decided to use a "intermediate" positioning from the already available on the market in this category, less competitive for the niche.
In fish nuggets "Well-fed Dad " emphasis is made on taste aspects, on appetite. The character of the brand is cheerful, transmitting positive.
Implementation
When developing the concept for fish knights, the team relied on the proximity of the “drive” mood inherent in the branding of the archetype of “shut”: a fun, cheerful image that carries lightness and at the same time the tradition, quality and care for the buyer, characteristic of the Archetype “careful”.
It was important for the creators of “Well-fed Dad” to keep the key color of the packaging saturated yellow as the main element of brand identity. The packaging of the product has acquired a new yellow-blue color, held in bright shades. This choice of color palette emphasizes the customer's attention to the composition of nuggets: they are made not of meat, but of fish.
The main emphasis in the packaging is on the foot zone. The overall atmosphere – appetizing, ready-to-use products gives an association of a full-fledged nutritious lunch, dinner or fast snack. The packaging shows a possible way of serving: the consumer's familiar taste combination of nuggets with sauce. The benefits of the product are labeled: “Omega 3”, “Iodine”, “B12”,“PP”. For the convenience of the buyer, the cooking method is indicated on the back.
