Brand Identity Case Study — 2026
From a hand-drawn wedge to a full snack-brand system — logo, palette, packaging and a subway-ready campaign for DC's flagship Moringa Cheese.
Delight Cheese (DC) was launching Moringa Cheese — a real cheese blended with moringa leaves for a nutritional boost. The trap with functional food is that it reads as a chore. The brief: build an identity that shouts flavour first, nutrition second, and holds up everywhere from a 108-pixel social avatar to a full subway billboard.
Nutritious cheese risks looking clinical. It had to feel like an indulgent street snack you reach for, not a supplement.
Young, hungry, phone-first city snackers who decide in a scroll — and shoppers scanning a shelf in three seconds.
One flexible system: a mark that survives tiny, a palette that pops on a shelf, and packaging that photographs like food.
Two heavyweight letters lock together. A circular Delight Cheese seal sits in the negative space, and a hand-illustrated wedge bites in from the right — the one warm, imperfect detail in an otherwise bold, geometric mark. Built on a centimetre grid in Illustrator so proportions hold at every size.
Reversible — knockout badge for avatars, black-on-light and white-on-dark lockups.
A single loud gold does the shouting; black and charcoal give it weight and let the food photography glow. Cool greys and white keep the system honest on packaging and spec sheets.
A single ultra-condensed display face carries the noise. The signature move: pairing a solid word with an outlined one — the same trick that makes the packaging headline read as two beats. A neutral grotesque handles body copy; a mono voices the spec-sheet details borrowed from the pack.
Moringa Cheese is a type of cheese that incorporates moringa leaves, known for their high nutritional value. Clean, quiet, and comfortable at length.
The mark repeats on the diagonal to wrap boxes, line bags and back social frames — turning the identity into a texture you recognise before you can read it.
A grab-and-go gable box with a die-cut handle. The torn-paper band — charcoal ripped across gold — frames the product name and a plated food shot, so the pack sells the taste while the seal and pattern sell the brand.
The identity flexes from a square social launch post to a wall-length transit billboard without losing a beat — torn band, gold field, bold-plus-outline headline, NEW PRODUCT seal.
Logo, palette, pattern, packaging and campaign as a single family — the reason a shopper clocks Delight Cheese in a scroll and again on a platform wall.
