elements

pattern

Due to the wide assortment and very detailed design on brand’s own products the visuals should be rather more simple and minimalistic. Details used on product packages can be bring out on other designs:

  • random color spots
  • “brushed” lines
  • fruit illustrations

Follow the main design principles and colors when using patterns and elements.

Use smoothe and round elements and avoid sharp corners if possible.

icons

Icons are used where it’s necessary to bring out some specific quality of the product. Usually icons are used on products label, on the websaite and on some marketing materials generally. 

“100% TASTY” is most used icon that is obligatory to use when ever any other icon(s) are used.

HIGH IN FIBER, HIGN IN IRON etc. icons represent high quantity of specific mineral or vitamin (in Estonia at least 7% of daily value of a nutrient each day based on a 2000 calorie diet).
NOT allowed to use icons like HIGH IN MINERALS/VITAMINS; SOURCE OF OMEGA-6 etc.

design principles

SOCIAL MEDIA

Brand social media visuals and marketing activity should carry the same values as the brand in general – to be cheerful, colorful, respectful and close to nature, emphasis on the message, not on too many details.

Graphic design altenate with pictures gives an opportunity highlight the brand values and message. Content must be authentic and emotion-oriented. Avoid direct sales and heavily promoted shopping messages. Organic content should be more oppressive to feelings, include tricks and recommendations, recipe ideas and reminders, be educational. Direct sales messages on social media should rather be placed to advertising content and/or email marketing.
