ISSUE
Crozy, a brand known for its mini filled croissants, wanted to elevate its brand experience and highlight the introduction of sweet flavors alongside its existing savory offerings. The goal was to create a new cohesive yet distinct brand identity, enhancing recognition, shareability, and the overall gathering experience while maintaining Crozy’s easy gourmet positioning.
INSIGHT
Crozy’s previous brand identity lacked a clear flavor distinction and a strong visual presence that reflected its premium yet playful nature. With the addition of sweet flavors, there was a need to establish a new design system that balanced both offerings while keeping the brand visually engaging and memorable.
SOLUTION
We redefined Crozy’s visual identity and packaging with a focus on:
- A color-coded system—Burgundy for savory, Blue for sweet—to establish clear differentiation.
- A layered box structure, enhancing both functionality and unboxing experience.
- A dynamic circular pattern that reflects Crozy’s playful yet refined brand essence.
Engaging social media visuals and digital presence to amplify the relaunch.

The Color System – A New Flavor Language
To create a clear visual distinction between Crozy’s two offerings, we introduced a strategic color-coded system:
Burgundy for Savory Bites: A deep, warm tone that conveys richness and indulgence, often seen in traditional bakeries and patisseries. This color reflects hearty, flavorful fillings and evokes a sense of depth and sophistication.
Navy Blue for Sweet Bites: A refined yet unexpected choice, giving Crozy’s sweet flavors a sense of modernity and distinction from the typical pastel tones used in dessert branding. It enhances the premium perception of the brand while maintaining a playful edge.

The soft curvatures in the Crozy logo subtly evoke the fluffiness and indulgence of its mini croissants, making the brand feel warm, inviting, and deliciously memorable.
The circular pattern on the packaging was designed to reflect what’s inside—mini, round, bite-sized croissants that are meticulously layered. The repeating shapes not only add a sense of rhythm and movement but also create a visual cue for indulgence and shareability. The pattern serves as a subtle, yet effective storytelling device, reinforcing the layered craftsmanship of each Crozy bite.
The stackable box system was designed to enhance the unboxing experience, making it visually striking while easy to transport and serve at gatherings. The layering effect adds a premium touch, reinforcing the idea that Crozy is more than just a treat—it’s a centerpiece for shared moments.
The new packaging and brand system successfully positioned Crozy as a modern yet familiar bakery experience, reinforcing its flavor variety, shareability, and sophisticated playfulness. The thoughtful color system, pattern design, and layered packaging come together to elevate the brand, ensuring Crozy is not only instantly recognizable but also memorable and functional for its audience.
