The Challenge

Nomme needed a visual identity that felt fresh and friendly — fun, appetizing, and instantly recognizable on crowded shelves and feeds.

The existing brand presence felt too generic for the playful brand personality. Social media lacked consistency and the visual language didn't communicate the fun and trustworthy brand positioning the brand deserved. We needed to bridge that gap without losing authenticity.

The Insight
Good food deserves great design. When a product looks as good as it tastes, the scroll stops.

Design Philosophy — Butternut

Creative Direction

Playful warmth with appetizing energy

We developed a visual system rooted in warm yellows, rounded shapes, and product-forward layouts, and typographic hierarchy. Every element serves a purpose — nothing is decorative, everything communicates.

The palette draws from natural materials: honey, sunshine, and toasted peanut. Typography pairs a refined serif for headlines with a clean sans-serif for body text.
