To rebrand such a large company came at no small cost - as their mascot and image has remained the same for decades and is beloved by many. However, there were existing issues with their branding and namesake. For this project, the aim was to separate the brand image from a person, and reflect a new visual and aesthetic feel, with their target demographic being shifted to young women with an interest in health for themselves and family.
Work showcased in this section includes Brand Identity & System, Social Media Pages, Packaging Solutions, Annual Report, and Website.
