Comments

More than just the application of a logo, this category is about what the pack says about the brand. In a field offering some substantial and entrenched competition, Leggo’s has managed to eclipse them all with this clever example of brand communication. Invoking all the cues of ‘freshness’ - brown paper bags, clear plastic bags, matt surfaces, deli-style graphics, muted colours, uncluttered design - the designers have fashioned a wholesome and realistic version of the language of ‘fresh produce’ packaging. Here there is a narrative being communicated about the range, a subtext of credibility and a back-story of authenticity. The product is clearly visible through the clear section of the bag, as ultimate proof of its quality and freshness.
