The Design

About Nestle Mr. Banana Ambalaža za sladoled

Gospodin Banana je dizajn ambalaže kreiran za proizvod sladoleda koji se prodaje u Kini. Dizajn vraća brend s tradicijom na tržište uz novi vizuelni identitet zasnovan na rap muzici umjesto rok muzike. Na svakom pakovanju otisnut je veliki par sunčanih naočala, kako bi se proizvod istaknuo unutar prepunih rashladnih vitrina. Devet verzija sunčanih naočala nosi različite fraze, omogućavajući potrošačima da izaberu pakovanje koje odgovara njihovoj ličnosti ili da sakupe sve verzije. Sladoled je umotan u aluminijsku foliju, dok je vanjska kutija izrađena od ekološki prihvatljivog papira sa zlatno utisnutim logotipom.

Unique Properties: In ice-cream fridges, most packaging present product shot to convey its flavor. Consumers purchase ice-cream based on their taste preference. To make a difference, we enlarged the ice-cream and made the sunglasses become a unique element in the fridge. The sunglasses create an interaction between consumers and packaging. Besides, consumers can hold it, take a selfie and upload to social media since social marketing is a big trend in China.
Dimensions & Packaging: Ice-cream packaging: Width 218mm x Depth 10mm x Height 76mm
Paper box: Width 40mm x Depth 60mm x Height 85mm
Tags: Packaging, ice-cream, banana, China, interaction, social media
Production Technology: Aluminum Foil for ice-cream packaging.
Eco-friendly paper for box with gold stamp for Nestle logo.
Design Challenge: The main challenge is how to modernize a brand with heritage and make it match the trend today. Consumers like to share the product experience on social media, which leads to the idea of entrusting the packaging with the ability of creating social buzz, which is not often seen in ice-cream category
Research: After observing the shopping scenario, the team found out that ice-cream is placed disorderly in the fridge and the environment is dull. It is essential to have something attractive and memorable if Mr.Banana wants to jump out of the shelf. From consumer side, the team also learned that young consumers prefer Hip-Hop rather than Rock n Roll to express their individuality and attitude. So blackandgold went beyond the brief and create something closer to the youth.
Inspiration: 20 years ago, Mr.Banana was born a Rockstar. After retreating from market for 10 years, Mr.Banana is coming back. In order to get closer to young consumers, we redefine Mr.Banana as a Rapstar inspired by the rising of Chinese Hip-Hop music shows. Young consumers don't want to be defined, to answer that, blackandgold provides 9 sunglasses with different copy to deliver different personalities. Consumers can choose the one that fit their personalities the most or collect all the packaging.
Project Duration: The project started in Aug, 2020 and the product is launched in April, 2021.
Operation Flow: The traditional ice-cream packaging communicates the taste. When consumers purchase ice-cream, their buying behavior is based on flavor preference. To stand out among competitors, Mr.Banana uses the packaging to convey different personalities to draw different consumers' attention, which can devote to the popularity on social media eventually.
