About Nestle Mr. Banana アイスクリームのパッケージ

「Mr. Banana」は、中国で販売されるアイスクリーム製品のために制作されたパッケージデザインである。本デザインは、ロックミュージックに代わりラップミュージックを基調とした新しいビジュアルアイデンティティによって、老舗ブランドを市場へと再登場させた。各パッケージには大きなサングラスがプリントされており、商品がひしめく冷凍ショーケースの中でも際立つ存在感を放つ。サングラスは9種類のバリエーションがあり、それぞれ異なるフレーズを掲げているため、消費者は自分の個性に合った一箱を選んだり、全種類を集めたりすることができる。アイスクリーム本体はアルミ箔で包まれ、外箱には環境に配慮した紙素材を用い、ロゴは金箔押しで表現されている。

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.

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.
