01 / The ideaStart with a reason.

A snack break
worth wandering into.

The brief

Create a snack identity and gifting experience that turn a small everyday break into a moment of discovery.

The response

SIDEQUEST treats snacking as a welcome detour. The lettering is compact and playful; the long Q tail introduces a sense of movement. Cobalt and orange establish a bold contrast, while the warm cream type keeps the brand inviting.

01

Put personality in the letters.

The distinctive Q gives the wordmark a playful interruption. The name remains large and readable across the pouch range.

02

Create an opening sequence.

The gifting idea moves from a bold outer box to the assortment inside, then to a printed invitation to take a small detour.

03

Keep the flavor easy to find.

Large flavor names and a fixed category position give the playful system a practical information layer.

02 / The identityLettering, color, hierarchy.
Cobalt#2048D8
Poppy#F56524
Cream#FFF3D9
Night#18275B

A little unexpected.
Everywhere it goes.

The stacked wordmark is the anchor. Contrasting color fields and a simple dotted route give the identity movement. The same few elements carry the pouch, the gift box and the campaign.

Fixed

Stacked name, cobalt, cream lettering and a dotted route. Leave a clear area for the flavor.

Variable

Flavor, accent color and the route across the format. Keep the route away from product information.

Format rule

Pouch: quick recognition. Box: a reveal. Insert: one invitation to take a detour.

03 / In the worldPR gifting + launch campaign

A box with
a sense of adventure.

The PR concept gives the campaign a physical sequence. An assertive color on the outside creates recognition; a contrasting interior reveals the assortment. A short printed line turns the unboxing into an invitation.

Project scope & production notes

What this study covers

Brand identity
Packaging
PR gifting

Concept brief, lettering studies, product visualizations, brand rules, typography and application layouts.

What comes next

Before production: validate pouch seals and safe areas, test box fit and transit protection, and proof the cream lettering on the chosen substrates.

This is an independent fictional brand study, with no client commission or measured commercial results. Concept marks would need vector refinement and supplier validation before production.
