Bulletproof: Trebor 'Brand Identity and Packaging'

Brand: Trebor

Title(s): Brand Identity and Packaging

Agency: Bulletproof, London, UK

Agency Website: www.wearebulletproof.com

Published: August 2015

Short Rationale (optional): As part of the strategic process, the creative platform “The unapologetic minty mint” was developed to capture and convey the intense ‘zing!’ and ‘huzzahh!’ sensations of Trebor’s refreshing flavours.This thinking informed and inspired the design – an arty interpretation of a flavour punch that is vibrant, awakening and impactful.

We reworked Trebor’s red star brandmark ensuring it became the ‘heart’ of the identity. The dynamic shape works on two levels – firstly, to hero the Trebor logo and, secondly, as a vehicle for communicating the dazzling flavour dimensions of the products: a kaleidoscope of intense taste and texture sensations that are smooth and hard, soft and chewy, minty and fruity.

The new design exudes energy, alluding to the intense and explosive flavours within. From the star itself, tonal plays on colour are emitted from the shape, enhancing the illusion of movement with these ‘shards of freshness’ echoing the depths of flavour.

It will appear in still and animated formats nationwide, including high-impact DOOH and static advertisements, and a specially-composed cinemagraph until the end of end of 2015, with plans to roll out further in 2016, supported by a PR and digital campaign, delivered by Wire Media and the Whyte & Mackay communications team.
