Probiotic Mood Snacks
Brand Identity; packaging Design, Brand Visuals, Social Media , Image Making
ASMARA introduced the world’s first probiotic-mood snack series, blending Singaporean heritage with innovative flavors. We worked on the brand identity, packaging design, brand visuals, social media, and image making for this launch. Our approach was to create bold and vibrant designs that reflect the unique flavors, each paired with an animal character that embodies the fusion of origins. These distinctive characters and their colorful packaging ensured that ASMARA's snacks would stand out on the shelves, bringing a family-friendly and inclusive vibe into every home.
The world's first probiotic-mood snack is a fusion of local Singaporean heritage developed by food scientists at ASMARA. Kickstarting these snack series are; Honey Mustard Protein Crisp, Secret Formula Papadam, Sichuan Mala Papadam, and Citron Pistachio Biscotti.
The demographic for the snack series was suitable for a wide age group. Thus we seek to create a direction to be inclusive for all, family-friendly, and suitable snacks in everyone's home.
Packaging Design
The designs are meant to be bold and vibrant which are reflective of its flavors. These paired with an animal character and color from each flavor ensured each packaging stands out uniquely among itself and its competitors.
The characters were more than just animals they each had a fusion of their origin which was represented through their clothing and the type of animal character; Mama Kang The Boxing Kangaroo; Honey Mustard Protein Crisp, is a mix of Chinese-Australian fusion Protein Muruku. Zenna The Peacock Princess; Secret Formula Papadam, is an Indian-inspired Papadam made from protein-rich urad dal. Bamboo Jah, The Wise Elephant; Sichuan Mala Papadam, an Indian-Chinese fusion Mala Papadam is made from protein-rich urad dal. Jeon Sa, The Warrior Tiger; Citron Pistachio Biscotti is a Korean-Italian fusion of biscotti baked with Korean citron, pistachio, and almond.
Variations of the characters were drafted and designed to ensure the appropriate symbolization of the culture and theme before settling on the final design. Not forgetting the patterns on the background were designed with culturally inspired symbols to give depth and texture to the design.
Brand Visuals
Besides the design of the packaging, a series of brand visuals had to be curated for ASAMRA's launch and activation of the snacks. We asked besides the common visuals how could we create hype, and mystery around the launch.
We incorporated human elements into the visuals to transcend cultural inclusivity around the various cultural fusion of the snacks. The outfits and colors were creatively directed to match the characters and their elements. By doing so we curated a series of visuals that can stand out from the masses and clutter making it visually eye-catching.
