**Helsinki, Finland** – Finnish food company Anton&Anton, known for its high-quality ready-made meals, has undergone a major rebranding effort to reflect its shift from boutique stores to the convenience food market. The rebranding was led by creative agency Kuudes, who helped the company create a fresh visual identity that emphasizes the quality and deliciousness of Anton&Anton’s products while appealing to a wider audience.
Anton&Anton, previously known for its brick-and-mortar stores and home delivery service, decided to close these operations and focus on the growing convenience food sector. This strategic move was driven by the changing market dynamics and consumer preferences, particularly after the pandemic.
Kuudes played a key role in crafting the new brand identity, aiming to communicate the brand’s focus on fresh ingredients, authenticity, and taste. “We had to ensure the new identity communicated authenticity, fresh ingredients, high quality and deliciousness without positioning it as a premium brand,” said Piëtke Visser, creative director at Kuudes.
The rebranding effort centered around a bold and vibrant color palette, drawing inspiration from the fresh, natural ingredients used in Anton&Anton’s meals. Each meal is paired with a distinct base color, representing a key ingredient, creating a visually appealing and appetizing presentation.
“We believe delicious food is something everybody can relate to,” said Visser. “The starting point of food enjoyment is how it looks: delicious color suggests satisfying flavour.”
Playful and rough-edged illustrations depicting the food ingredients further enhance the brand’s visual appeal, conveying a sense of homemade goodness and a carefree approach to food. The iconic Anton&Anton logo remains a key element, serving as a strong counterbalance to the playful illustrations and creating a striking visual impact.
“The name and logo, Anton&Anton, needed to be impactful and visible at a distance,” explained Visser. “Instead of settling for a small, discreet logo placement, Kuudes scaled it up, spreading it from one pack to the next.”
The rebranding project not only focused on the visual identity but also on verbal communication, ensuring the new brand voice conveys the company’s passion for high-quality, locally sourced food made with delicious seasonal ingredients.
With its vibrant new look and a strong focus on convenience, Anton&Anton is poised to capture a larger market share in the growing convenience food sector, while staying true to its commitment to delicious, high-quality food.
