Junk food without the junk

HONEST JUNK


Junk food tastes amazing. But it’s not made from amazing stuff. Honest Junk reimagined snacking with their health-ish popped chips, and it’s everything you love, minus the junk. Our challenge: launch the cpg food brand as your new go-to healthier alternative in the saturated chip aisle.

We partnered with the cpg food startup to clarify their brand strategy– healthy-ish junk food. We delivered a playful take on chip branding and packaging design that still feels a little junky. We developed a brand voice that brings a sense of humor to the snack aisle, and a bold bag design that inspires families to feel less guilty about snacking.

We designed a bold brand identity system that uses a vibrant color palette and custom hand-drawn wordmark that demands a second glance. The packaging design doesn’t sacrifice the color palettes of beloved traditional flavor chip flavors, enticing all snack enthusiasts to still give the healthier alternative a try.

Whimsical chip characters playfully balance on the word “JUNK,” and interact with hand lettering. The design strategy plays up the chips’ personality and levity on the packaging design which is a nod to the popped nature of the healthier and lighter ingredients. The new branding embodies a fun and carefree spirit, inviting consumers to enjoy snacking like never before. Our idea of popped art.

Snack Better

Honest Junk is perfect for fueling your active lifestyle or keeping kids happily snacking at home. Don’t worry it doesn’t taste healthy.

We delivered branded key messaging that talks to the whole family and art direction for photography that stills feels a lot more like a junk food brand than something you’d expect to be healthy.
