Summary:

Schnucks Olives had the opportunity to introduce a new, distinctive look and feel that would break from a traditionally executional focus to an interesting, easy to understand design. The final outcome needed to help customers comfortably navigate within the complicated range and deliver a fresh approach to showcase the product. All of these challenges were achieved while creating stopping power at shelf that Schnucks can own.

The design hero’s the product (olive), rather than hiding it in a serving suggestion. Each type clearly communicates the different contents including size, cut, and type of olive.

Our response includes a hyper-realistic illustration of the product. This was combined with billboarding colors of yellow, purple, and red accompanied with clean, bold, vintage-style typography to communicate provenance and nostalgia.
