Introducing the new look for — a lupini-bean based pasta brand that lets you enjoy pasta without compromise. We transformed the brand, giving it a more polished and energetic look. Taking cues from the concept behind the word Kaizen (a Japanese term, meaning change for the better, or continuous improvement), we developed a horizon-like shape language for the front of the box. The abstract green horizon and cheery blue sky were an intentional color combination choice in order to stand out on shelves from the competitive set, and also symbolize the opportunities that abound for pasta-eaters as they continue on their healthy path.
