The Problem
Many healthy snack brands rely on minimal, neutral packaging that prioritises wellness cues over personality. While effective in communicating health benefits, these identities often struggle to stand out or build emotional recognition with consumers. Tropibite required a visual identity that could balance product transparency with boldness, making healthy snacks feel exciting rather than restrictive.
The Challenge
The goal was to create a French pâtisserie identity that felt authentic and refined while still having a playful personality. Rather than leaning into traditional French clichés, Coucou needed a distinctive visual language that could feel charming, modern, and memorable.
The Solution
The identity was built around the idea of Parisian charm with a playful twist. A whimsical croissant-inspired character became the heart of the brand, giving Coucou a recognisable personality while allowing the identity to feel warm, inviting, and effortlessly French.
The Packaging
The packaging extends the identity across cups, pastry bags, trays, loyalty cards, and takeaway materials. Bold pink surfaces, the signature Coucou script, and the illustrated character make each touchpoint feel cohesive while turning everyday packaging into part of the pâtisserie experience.
