Refreshing a Japonica inspired icon

BREAKING THROUGH TODAY’S HECTIC WORLD WITH PERSONAL ME-MOMENTS

In today’s hectic and stressful world, personal me-moments are more valuable than ever for Geisha’s more female focused consumer. The Geisha brand needed an updated visual identity to refresh the brand, stand out and continue its brand growth as Fazer’s most successful global travel retail brand.

ORDER AND SIMPLICITY FOR UPDATED ASSETS

The redesign centres on the idea of Zen – the order & simplicity of the brand positioning. Crafting the brand mark with a more modern handcrafted logotype and creating relevance for the blossom asset, something that has always been there for this over 60-year-old brand. The idea allows the more female focused consumer a moment of calm to rejuvenate, appreciate a balanced life and embrace the ambition of the modern women.

 

ELEVATED CELEBRATION GIFTING

Since the 1960s, a wide range of Geisha products have been created – both for personal indulgence as well as quality gifting. The new Geisha gift packaging increases its premium credentials through combining the unique praline fan shape with the recognisable blossom. Layering the graphics in a Japanese inspired way. The internal structure displays the chocolates in a radiating design to allow for a centred place of calm within the package.

 

RECOGNISIBLE PINK FOR STANDOUT

The simplification of assets allows for the recognisable pink brand colour to stand out on shelf as well as become the backdrop for delicate product photography. The bottom of the pack has been used to aid navigation of new NPD products, allowing for new product flavours that meet consumer needs.

NOMINATED FOR AN AWARD

The successful creation of the Geisha chocolate selection. This pack is nominated as a 2023 finalist in the category for Best Confectionery & Food Product at the Global Travel Retail Awards – the only awards programme that’s voted for entirely by consumers.

ONE OF THE MOST INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED OF FAZER’S BRANDS

Today, Geisha is one of Fazer’s most internationally recognised brands and is loved for its delicious taste by many people around the world. Successfully encouraging consumers to take a relaxing pause with each piece of perfectly balanced chocolate, it is delivering strong growth across multiple international markets.
