About Extra Melty Upgrade Mint Package
The design team revolved around the idea of melting snow, symbolizing the product's stress relieving properties. It was requested to retain recognizable brand elements such as the extra logo and the swoosh, hence we visually evolved the swoosh into ski run to build the scene where the cartoon character can have fun in to echo the theme. It is noticeable that the fruit played more than a flavor hint, but a vivid snowboard, which completed the storytelling. It would imagine the moment of tasting the mints brings a skiing-like experience in the mouth as well as in consumers' mind.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Our design concept revolved around the idea of 'melting snow', symbolizing the stress-relieving properties of the product. It was requested to retain recognizable brand elements such as the Extra logo and the swoosh, hence we visually evolved the swoosh into a ski run, creating a scene for the cartoon character to have fun, echoing the theme of melting snow. You will notice that the fruit plays not only a flavor cue, but also a vivid snowboard that completes the storytelling. We would imagine that at the moment of tasting the mints, an alpine skiing-like experience will emerge in consumers' mouths and minds.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration came from the insight that modern consumers face increasing stress in their daily lives, which builds up over time like a snowball. The brand aims to be the key to melt these stress, hence the concept of 'melting snow'. The design solution seeks to evoke pleasure and relaxation through playful characters and dynamic visuals, creating a positive consumer experience.
- Challenge
- We were challenged to interpret the existing brand assets from the abstract 'swoosh' to meaningful and easily echoable elements. We explored different possibilities, taking into account brand personality, consumer preferences and local trends, and worked with the branding team on the final touches.
- Project Duration and Location
- 6 months in Shanghai,China
