DESIGN NAME: Petchoy Branding
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Branding
INSPIRATION: PetChoy provides delicious meal plans for cats and dogs in Saigon, Vietnam. Founders think pets should be served as their owners. PetChoy aims to educate and empower the pet-loving community with an accurate and comprehensive understanding of pets' nutrition and health.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The new logo is a purely typographic design from TT Trailers with characteristic inktraps inspired by happy wagging tails. Combined with pet's choice and pet's joy, we want to visualize the happy choice of a pet when knowing they're getting PetChoy for mealtime.
To define the cat and dog product line, we designed cat and dog characters minimally and brought them subtly into letter A's negative space.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The original brief was a rework task on the logo and surface design of current packaging to extend for more future product lines and the client doesn't know their target customer or certain visual direction for next. There's a serious issue with branded visual display on wholesaler's shelves due to the current packaging. Thinking pets should have cool and triggering packaging design with bold branding, we turn the project into a completely new branding system with a tactical strategy to target GenZ and urbanists through the high-end serving restaurant concept for pets.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 5 months and launched in June 2021, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In contrast with the usual market standard, we took the packaging to a typographic-based layout that the word means Fresh Meal becomes the main element, giving a strong message to define the product and distinguish PetChoy on shelves from others that use pet images. The paw and the dog or cat icon will describe what the product is for, complementing with restaurant ticket gives full information about the meal.
CHALLENGE: Taking PetChoy from a blank generic brand, TT Trailers was chosen by its great fitted personality, through inktrap, funky narrow shape design. Working closely with TypeType, we developed TT Trailers Petchoy with happy tail-and-ear-inspired Vietnamese diacritical details. This approach brought more fun, exciting characteristics, and bold statements to distinguish the brand from the market.
