Exfuze Seven+We’re proud to have designed the new label and bottle for Seven+, Exfuze’s all-natural açai extract nutritional drink. As part of a complete brand overhaul, IDY Creative wiped the slate clean on a bland, dated Seven+ label, and created a completely new brand ID. The new product is designed to compete directly with Mona Vie, a rival açai-based nutritional drink.

As usual, we began with multiple concept sketches and color studies. We designed the logotype with a modern font for readability and recognition, and incorporated the “+” sign into it. This unifies the logo with the “Seven” being dominant and the “+” subdominant. Fresh new colors were used.

The fountain shape was carefully designed to convey liquid and energy simultaneously, while the seven circles signify each of the seven important ingredients that make up the drink. The shape will be used interchangeably with the logotype, depending on the application.

Our goal was to give the product its best shot to overtake its competitors and be recognized worldwide as “the most nutritious drink on the planet”.

Exfuze Before & After

IDY Creative, Inc. is proud to have designed the new brand identity for Exfuze, manufacturer of the highly successful Seven+ nutritional drink known as “The most nutritious drink on the planet”. Exfuze retained us to elevate the brand’s position among its competitors. We enhanced the energy of the corporate logo by streamlining the human “X” form, and modernizing the base structure with bold letterforms and a color that symbolizes the seven ingredients in Seven+.

Please comment on the Exfuze re-brand!

Seven+ Logo before and afterAdditionally, the IDY Creative team designed a whole new Seven+ logo. The dated brand needed modernization to keep pace with the onslaught of açai-based nutritional drinks flooding the market. The new design incorporates specific elements representing the seven extracts that make up the drink (gac, açai, goji, noni, fucoidan, mangosteen and seabuckthorn). This is, in my view, the only açai nutrition drink that actually tastes good!

Finally, we designed the company’s corporate identity, trade show graphics and corporate web site. The result is a powerful new brand that embodies the energy of Exfuze and Seven+.

First off is the Signature 7 line of products that include “31 snacks, including beef jerky, chips, cookies, nuts, trail mix and candy.” You can wash that stuff down with “Inked,” the company’s new tattoo friendly energy drink.

Or grab an Asian roller or a 7-Eleven hotdog, 7-Eleven sells more of them than any other store in America, making them the “king of all hotdog vendors!”

The Slurpuccino. I love it. That’s the name of the week, folks.

 

Sweden’s Gunnar Dafgård becomes the first to use a new molded wood-pulp tray that offers dual-ovenability and sustainability advantages revealed Packaging world.

Sweden’s largest family-run ready-meals maker, Gunnar Dafgård AB, is satisfying the consumer’s taste for premium packaging that’s environmentally friendly, pioneering a new sustainable packaging solution from SilviPak of Sweden. Dafgård became the first to use new SilviPak molded wood-pulp packaging for its most popular frozen ready meal, Billy’s Lasagne, which is produced at a rate of 18 metrics tons/day.

web_dafgard-1.jpgThe SilviPak tray is made from 100% virgin fiber with no recycled paper content. The material can be molded into virtually any shape or size and is then covered with a film barrier layer of choice. For its 200-g lasagna product, DafgÃ¥rd chose the SilviPak 3001, a 173×120x30-mm, dual-ovenable tray coated with a barrier layer of CPET, to replace an existing paperboard tray. The secondary packaging consists of a flexible film bag.

Dafgård produces more than 30 different frozen and chilled ready meals for distribution to foodservice and retail outlets across Europe. The company plans to launch other meals in the SilviPack tray in the coming months.
