Sometimes the product grows faster than the brand around it.
That was the interesting part of working on Rosa Salsa.
When Nick came to me, Rosa wasn't just an idea waiting to be launched. He already had a family recipe, customers who enjoyed it and a growing presence at farmers' markets in Texas.
The original labels had been created by Nick himself while building the business.
And they'd done their job.
But Rosa was now heading somewhere bigger.
Nick and I worked closely through that transformation, exploring the typefaces, language and visual style together until we found a personality that felt right for where Rosa was heading.
From there, I redesigned the identity and packaging and built the larger visual world around the three flavour personalities - Gentle Zest, Warm Hug and Flirty Spice
But perhaps the nicest description of the transformation came from Nick himself:
βWeβre no longer seen as a cute farmers market company. We have an identity that looks like weβre ready for national growth.β
I love that because it says something I've believed for a long time.
A redesign doesn't magically make the product better.
Sometimes it simply allows people to finally see the business you've already been building.
Swipe through to see where Rosa started and where we took it.
