The brief

Challenge

Tova had an excellent recipe for infused waters but struggled with outdated communication and design, limiting its appeal to younger consumers.

Approach

We adopted a minimalistic approach, focusing on typography and the infused ingredients as the brand’s USPs. We designed transparent packaging that showcased the ingredients while using a blocked label at the back to prevent reflections. Bright colours and organic flavour notes maintained Tova’s essence, while a vertically placed logo and larger font enhanced visibility on crowded shelves.

Thought Process

We analysed competitor packaging to identify design gaps and realised that highlighting the ingredients and flavour notes would create an immediate connection with health-conscious consumers. Our aim was to create a design that felt fresh and organic while standing out on a shelf of similar products.

Result

The refreshed branding, including an interactive website design that highlights flavour notes dynamically, positioned Tova as a modern and attractive choice for consumers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make a beverage stand out on a crowded shelf?

Fix the visibility problem directly. We used a vertically placed logo and a larger font to improve Tova's shelf standout. It was a packaging and visibility fix rather than a change to the product itself.

Does transparent packaging cause problems for a beverage brand?

Only if the label placement ignores it. Tova's pack is transparent at the front to showcase the infused ingredients, with a blocked label at the back specifically to stop reflections distracting customers.

How do you redesign packaging to appeal to a younger audience?

Strip it back. We took a minimalistic approach for Tova built around typography and the infused ingredients as the core selling points, rather than adding decorative elements to look contemporary.

Does modernising packaging risk losing the brand's existing identity?

Not if the recognisable elements are protected deliberately. We kept Tova's bright colours and organic flavour notes intentionally intact while modernising the wider design language around them.

What's the difference between a logo redesign and a packaging system redesign?

Scope and consequence. Tova's logo redesign extended into a consistent aesthetic across fonts, colours and packaging structure, so the new mark arrived as part of a system rather than a standalone asset.
