Häagen Dazs secret lies in it’s name.
Distinctly European albeit created in America…
We analysed the codes to increase cultural connections.
Regal colour and decorative art nouveau balance
with strict lettering.
HÄAGAN DAZS
CHALLENGE
To redesign Häagen-Dazs in a global context.
A ‘Progressive Elegance’ strategic direction
led the development, dramatising a
leader brand.
SOLUTION
Using Visual Intelligence TM, our semiotic
analysis tool, we identified the brand DNA
and its meaning and the contemporary
cultural context of ice-cream eating.
We translated ‘Progressive Elegance’, visually
underscoring the brand’s perceived
European heritage. The design reflects a
high quality, highly desirable product – rich,
creamy and pleasurable. The iconic
Häagan-Dazs marque is simplified and
strengthened and set within a deep red
decorative panel.
Elegant gilded finishes echo the brand‘s
decorative heritage and the product’s
delicious richness. With enlarged, more
delicious ingredient photography against
an ivory background, it is now easier for
consumers to distinguish between flavours.
