As a self-proclaimed charcuterie board maestro, I take my snack game seriously, so imagine my chagrin when I realized I\u2019d never met labneh. Originating from the Middle East and made with strained yogurt, labneh is a thick and spreadable dip, sometimes appropriately called \u201cyogurt cheese.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just when you thought you had snacking figured out, Bezi is here to shake up the game with a fresh and playful take on labneh. I dare you not to drool over this tasteful brand!<\/p>\n

Red Antler<\/a> has been busy crafting the identity for Bezi<\/a>, a fresh labneh brand making its debut in New York City grocery stores this September. With its eye-catching design and playful vibe, Bezi is ready to introduce a new twist to your snack game and exemplifies how effective branding can elevate a product.<\/p>\n

Our goal from the beginning was clear: we want to make labneh a thing. <\/p>\n

With its high-protein content and mild tang, Bezi stands out from other labneh products and is positioning itself to rival hummus as the go-to healthy snack dip. \u201cSince labneh is an unfamiliar category to many Americans, our strategy was to build awareness by anchoring it to a popular existing product\u2014hummus,\u201d said Ilay Karateke, Bezi\u2019s co-founder and CEO. However, the founders wanted to \u201ccapture hearts with a striking design that stands out on the bland, beige hummus shelves.\u201d Bezi tapped Red Antler for a branding strategy that is both innovative and engaging and could spark interest among consumers who may be new to labneh.<\/p>\n

Bezi\u2019s visual identity is eye-catching and vibrant. Each flavor features bold, groovy colors that create a visually appealing and tasty palette. The rounded, geometric logo reflects the brand\u2019s humor and confidence, giving it a friendly and approachable feel. \u201cThe short, punchy name \u2018Bezi\u2019 was a perfect fit\u2014it\u2019s memorable and versatile,\u201d said Jackson Bernard, Red Antler\u2019s brand design lead. \u201cBy incorporating the name into the design as a framing device, we were able to reinforce its meaning and ensure it stands out on the shelf while also allowing for future growth of the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Our approach to Bezi\u2019s packaging design was all about centering the vibrant flavor profiles and key product benefits, creating a system that\u2019s not only visually appealing but also easily scalable as the product line expands.<\/p>\n

The brand\u2019s clever mascot, inspired by the creamy labneh swirls, adds a charming element. Playful illustrations of flavors, characterized by geometric shapes and vibrant colors with soft shading, enhance the design\u2019s appeal and intrigue.<\/p>\n

High-saturation flash photography is used in the art direction to emphasize the mouth-watering qualities of Bezi\u2019s labneh, reflecting the brand\u2019s fun and sociable personality.<\/p>\n
