Nora Milk is the first family-friendly-sized milk in Denmark, with 1.5 liters of delicious milk from free-range cows grazing on grass for 60 days a year.
Brief
Based on the primary USP’s the task was to create both name and brand identity for the 1,5 liters milk to the nordic market.
A brand that has the potential to accommodate several different products within the dairy category such as yogurt and cream.
Solution
The name Nora both carry the nordic heritage and is a well known character from Disney: ‘Nora Malkeko’.
The design is based on a simple yet classic, Nordic illustrated universe that tells the story of Nora Milk. A solid and distinct system with the clear brand on top and the stripes underneath that carry the product information.

All in one has helped the Danes keep their blood sugar level in balance for years. The small cracker is easy to bring on the go and has a sensible nutritional composition.
But their old platform, focusing on health, had lost its relevance.
Brief
Based on the new recipe with added vitamins, minerals and ingredients from nordic nature, there was a need for a new brand platform for All in one - and a matching packaging design concept. The new design should reflect the new health platform based on unique brand assets, to reestablish relevance in the market.
Solution
The new All in one logo was made simpler and lighter, aiming for a more nordic and functional DNA.
The heavy green colour was replaced by lighter tones, referencing the nordic nature to strengthen the appeal towards a feminine audience. The oblique cut used in the photo style presents both the cracker and the nutritious raw ingredients in them, and a simple system of icons was created to highlight the new USPs of a high fiber content and added vitamins and minerals.
All in all a solution that balances functional benefits with nordic nature.
Altech is a Private Label brand within the plumbing and heating category. It is owned by French retail company Saint Gobain and sold through the wholesale company Brødrene Dahl in Denmark and in other related companies in the rest of Europe. A brand with many years of experience - and a steadily growing assortment.
Brief
Saint Gobain wanted a new Brand Identity for Altech. One with a more modern, contemporary feel and with an enhanced focus on sustainability and flexibility. The assortment had grown and counted several different categories and levels of quality that the existing design wasn’t designed to communicate.
Solution
The new Altech logo is based on a story about the products. Pipes and fittings are incorporated in the logotype through cuts in the typography that split the letters into the shapes of the products. The typography also forms the visual foundation for the many icons that are created to support the product features and sustainability on the packaging.
The choice of colours fell on a dynamic approach that can meet all four product categories and, in different combinations, work to define the two levels of quality.
The design concept can be produced sustainably by using only two colours and looks coherent no matter if the packaging is a fully printed cardboard box or only a label.
Overall, the solution is a design that both signals through a reused cardboard-look and, in a more practical matter, is produced with the environment in mind.
Paridan is a family-owned business that has made a virtue out of importing French specialities to the Danes since 1974.
Jørgen Hays Thøgersen was the first who made French snails and baguette available to the Danes. Since then, many more specialities from both France and other European countries have been added to the selection. The good and unique story was to be activated through a new design concept for trade throughout the north.
Brief:
The brief was to develop a new brand identity and packaging design concept for Paridan, focusing on the unique story and making the authenticity of the product, the quality, and the origin of the product clear.
Solution:
A unique illustration style based on French tradition is the base of the new design concept. Every product tells a story about how Jørgen brought specialities from European countries to the north. In combination with photos, the design ensures a clear decoding of the products content and taste - and add food appeal. The new logo reflects the company’s DNA in the shape of a hand drawn, personal signature. A unique expression with an exact storyline of the passionate family business, as well as the authenticity and origin of the products.
Original Danish Butter Cookies are a special treat in the Asian market. A traditional gift for those we hold near and dear to our hearts. Bisca has been on the market as long as butter cookies have existed, but the competition is growing quickly and ‘the original’ and ‘royal’ Danish butter cookies have been copied endlessly. Bisca saw the necessity of doing something new and different from the competitors.
Brief:
Develop a new concept and design for Bisca's Danish Butter Cookies for the Asian market. The well known baker and founder of the established Danish brand ‘Karen Volf’ were to be used as sender of the new concept. With the intent of differentiating from competitors and innovating within the category, Bisca want to reestablish their relevance in the market.
Solution:
The new design concept unfolds with a younger edition of Karen Volf as the entrepreneur behind Danish Butter Cookies. Karen is the front figure and is illustrated through a style of Nordic roots and a modern feel. In combination with the chosen font, there is a balance between the classic product and the new, modern context. A concept that can expand over time with other Danish classics.

Solution
The new design concept is based on the idea that it's an art form to mix a cocktail - boiled down to the concept line: ‘The art of mixing’.

Rebiome is a new skincare concept based on science and made with natural ingredients only - developed by Pauline Hellmann. Made to rebuild your skin and bring it back to its natural state with Pre- and Probiotic complexes.
Brief
As the concept was brand new, we needed to create everything from scratch. Bessermachen was asked to make the new brand platform, name, product naming, the physical packaging, identity, packaging design and communication concept.
Solution
Bessermachen developed a brand platform for Rebiome where science meets nature. The focus of the design was to empower the functional aspect of the skincare products and what they do for the skin.

In combination with a pharmaceutical approach of showing ingredients, the packaging gained a serious yet natural look.

Byens Plantetorv is a new green initiative to all plant loving Copenhageners. The aim was to create a destination where city dwellers - with or without green fingers - easily can buy and learn how to create green balconies in the city.
Brief:
With the characteristic building as a starting point and the combination of plants, city and knowledge, Bessermachen was asked to create an identity and concept for the new plant hall. The solution was to be pragmatic and simple to execute - and preferably in a sustainable way.
Solution:
Logo and identity are based on shapes and structures from the historic building on Reffen. The ceiling with the characteristic iron constructions in combinations with leaf structures created the foundation for the new logo. The expression became a fine balance between the raw feeling of Reffen and the organic from the plants. The identity was executed on facade, signs, plant tags and a long line of other elements for the opening on July 1st, 2021. All elements should be easy for the Plant Hall to execute themselves - so the solutions are made to be simple and practical in a busy everyday life.
First Price is a price-fighter Private Label. The design of the series was no longer up to date with time nor with the quality of the products. And Bessermachen won the task of updating and modernizing the old brand. First Price is sold through Dagrofa and NorgesGruppen in Denmark and Norway, available in Meny, Spar, Min Købmand and the Kiwi-chains.
Brief:
The brief was to redesign First Price to match current trends and the improved quality of the products, with a design system made to accommodate both food and nonfood and work across categories. Due to the low price point of the brand, an essential part of the task was to ensure the design could be handled and executed easily and affordably.
Solution:
The result is an entirely new take on the old brand, coming to life in the shape of a striking and distinctive logo in the old red color on a white label. The label solution also made it possible to work on a range of different backgrounds without losing recognition. The essence of the new design is to show quality through a playful simple approach in the style of photography. The white background color from earlier has been replaced with different colours that match the individual product. All in all a much more approachable solution that gives the impression of ‘more, for less’.
Sun Lolly - well known for their iconic triangle ice creams and fruit drinks - wished to launch a new product line in order to offer a healthier drinking alternative to the smallest consumers.
Brief:

Solution:
The design for Sun Lolly Fruity Water illustrates the product intrinsics by clearly showing both water and fruit. Handwritten fonts and illustrations tells the story of a more natural product - without compromising on taste - and “refreshment” was integrated through droplets with product claims. All on a naturally white background with paper structure.
The latest years the traditional kiosk market has changed significantly. There has been an increased competition from supermarkets and gas stations and at the same time, the consumption habits have changed. The Danes eat less sugar, smoke less and live a healthier life. In order to accommodate the challenging situation 7-Eleven made a repositioning strategy with an increased focus on healthy ready-to-go meals aimed at a quality conscious customer group.
Brief:
To accommodate the increasing demand for healthier convenience food and the shift from a supplier driven product range to a private label, the brief to Bessermachen was to create a design system and a visual platform for 7-Elevens Private Label selection.
Solution:
7-Eleven had been successful in creating a solid portfolio of fresh convenience products that were to be sold under their own label. The design solution should be able to accommodate both private label products as well as products from other suppliers - such as Cofoco and The Protein Kitchen.
The result is a simple and uniform design with 7-Eleven as the clear sender, to strengthen the chains new position. A design that signifies quality and consideration of produce, health and environment. By ensuring a peek through to the product and by using the colour white, the products appear fresh and the brand, credible. It is easy to find something for everyone in the selection - whether you’re looking for great taste or a healthy alternative.

Solution:
Location and nature were translated into graphic landscapes on outer packaging as well as the wavey logo.

Solution:
Bessermachen has created a strong logo with a build-in story of cutting down on CO2 emissions, illustrated through the distinct cut in the ‘O’. A creative, visual hook that was built into the corporate font, so that the idea could move into other messages and communication.
The ‘cut’ became a graphic element, that can be used in concrete visual messages about cutting down on different things in everyday life.

Brief:

Solution:
Bessermachen created a new expression to the organic series with a clear DNA and link to the existing product portfolio. A new style of illustration, with a raw and natural look, was created to showcase different flavours - for example by using natural effects, such as brown paper as background instead of clear, somewhat synthetic, colours. Likewise a new, handwritten font was used to describe content and amount. All with a clear reference to the existing product portfolio.

The logo is built around a clear triangle - referring to the “food pyramid” - and with the new payoff: “Your daily greens” we are taking the juice brand into a new era of healthy living. A text motor that works perfectly with the healthy ingredient line up for every single product.

A simple solution that made Karamelleriet's communication both flexible and relevant, as the belt made it possible to say everything from "Congratulations" to "Just because".
