Blue Whale Branding


For this final project, we were asked to either make a new brand, or to redesign a brand. Then, we decided to focus on to-go/take-away-food. Why? because in this modern lifestyle, people don't really have time to enjoy snack extremely-peacefully. When it comes to coffee, people will bring their laptop, or throw a meeting with another person. Same thing comes from bubble tea drinks. People usually bring their bubble tea to work to be a companion for their busyness. Those are basically the reasons why a to-go bar will definitely suits those people. 

Our choices are:
1. Fresh fruity beverage: Juices, fro-yo, smoothies, gelato
2. Medium Snack such as: pancakes, waffle, etc
3. Cafe. (competitor: J'Co, Dunkin Donuts, etc)

And, we go with.... Number 1 

We did our mindmapping and brainstorm for the name :
  • Fruity
  • Freshfruit
  • (fr)2 : fresh fruit - H(F)2
  • Undrinked
  • (F)3: Fit. Fresh. Fruity. Fast --> bisa jadi tagline
  • F3
  • Healdrink
  • Energy 
  • Licious:
  • Energilicious
  • Frulicious
  • Juicylicious
  • Fruitzy
  • Frozen Mountain
  • Freezy/Frozy
  • Good Luck
  • Cool or Kool / Sweet & Sour
  • Cool or Cold 
  • Cool Sweet
  • Squashy / Squeshy
  • The Big Squeeze
  • Pure Health
  • Fruita
  • Enerjuice
  • Dip & Sip
  • Beverage:
  • Bevande - Italian
  • Dranken - Dutch
  • Boissons - French
  • Breuvage
  • Quench - pleasing
  • Juice Do It
  • Crush
  • Favorage
  • Glace Tropicale : Tropical Juice (french)
  • Whale in a cup
  • fox in a cup
  • Blue Whale
  • Fruity Penguin 
  • Fresh Crush
*the highlight ones are the alternative names, and we already had tried to sketches some of them.

After quality control with our lectures and feedbacks from peers and seniors,

Some of us chose Fresh Crush, and some of us chose Blue Whale. For me, fresh crush is too literal and a little difficult to say. We finally chose blue whale.
