HERO Protein is a new and upcoming plant-based brand in the China market. HERO Protein breaks the traditional view of meat and provides an alternative source of protein that is 100% plant based with no antibiotics, no trans fat or hormones.

This project focused on creating a vibrant and fun look to the brand that would help stand out from current competitors in the market. Using bold colors and typography each product is assigned their own unique color to make each product stand out from one another. Kern worked with HERO Protein’s copywriter to create the brand identity, logo, packaging designs and website front end design for the product launch in 2020. With the plant based market rapidly growing in China be prepared to see much more from HERO Protein in restaurants and with products hitting shelves in early 2021.

You can also try their new plant based burgers at Fat Cow in their three locations in Shanghai.

HaTien came to us with a vision of opening a new restaurant in Shanghai that would serve authentic Vietnamese food in a relaxing and fun atmosphere.

We took direct inspiration from the name Hà Tiên which in Vietnamese means River Spirit. The brand identity uses a strong presence of reds, blues and whites to tie in the natural colors of the river as well as drawing inspiration from local fishing boats. Throughout the branding, the use of colors and textures represent water, fishing and the natural elements found in the region.

Yeyo was created in 2016 by Kiwi expat Christiana Zhu in an effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle. After moving to Beijing from New Zealand, her mission was to produce a vegan coconut yogurt that was dairy-free and sugar-free.

Yeyo came to Kern with an existing and well recognizable identity but were now looking for a refresh and an overall update to their logo, marketing materials and show booth. Kern’s mission was to re-brand the company and to keep in mind the history and the already existing aesthetic. Our goal was to propose a new stylish identity and produce an eye-catching harmonious line of product packaging (coming soon).

The end result is a well-balanced and coherent brand that looks fresh, stylish and fun. The right balance of color, playful typography, simple choices of tropical photography and a new set of icons brought the brand to new heights and garnered further attention from their fan base.

We are very happy to say that YEYO has been a well-rounded project that managed to catch our excitement and we have been happy to collaborate on such a creative and refreshing project.

In the coming months keep an eye out for our brand new line of packaging that will be hitting retail stores all throughout China.
