Fifty-year-old bakery brand Tip Top has had a makeover, and its brand design agency says it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Saltmine Design Group was commissioned to overhaul the Tip Top masterbrand identity and product packaging to “fully leverage its leadership position” in the category.
The result is a new brandmark and packaging design for the entire range.
Saltmine began by shifting the colour palette to richer tones that are less artificial, modernising the typography and encompassing the map of Australia within a lozenge device to create a bold brand stamp.
The ‘established in 1958’ credential was added to support Tip Top’s experience and leadership position.
Saltmine introduced a red swoosh device to the brand’s visual identity, which is used on-pack to frame the window and highlight the product.
When it came to redesigning the packaging for more than 30 SKUs, a front face design that extends to include the base of the pack was created.
Additionally, Saltmine included a big window to the bread to highlight the freshness of and pride in the product.
Falling wheat, grains and fruit were used to reinject food cues and add appetite appeal to the previously static pack design.
The 'Good on ya Mum' sign-off has been evolved in design, but the phrase stays true to the familiar saying.
The full range includes Tip Top Sunblest, Tip Top 9 Grain, Tip Top Breakfast range, Tip Top English Muffins, Tip Top Texas Toast, Tip Top The One, and Tip Top Rolls range.
