NAYA
  • NAYA

    Zest

    Bazooka created the Naya Zest brand name and label - the colourful silhouettes were applied to multiple platforms.

  • NAYA

    American label

    Focusing on the transparency of the new label made of 100% recyclable plastic, Bazooka modernized the brand image and carried it through the whole range.

  • NAYA

    American label

    Bazooka developed a label and English tagline for Naya’s American packaging, celebrating the pure, wild Canadian landscape where Naya draws both its water and its inspiration.

    Zest

    Bazooka updated the logo and, for each flavour and colour, created stylized silhouettes moving within a wave of transparent water.

SICO / PPG
  • SICO/PPG

    Brochures

    Sico launched a new colour palette centred around five themes and wanted to create inspirational brochures that would fire the design imagination of their target market.

  • SICO/PPG

    Brochures

    Bazooka dared to propose metallic embossing, even though the brochures would be printed in the millions and available for free. Each brochure uses a specific aesthetic approach, combining stunning photos, exuberant typography and accurate paint samples.

  • SICO/PPG

    SICO stain and wood finish brochures

    Favouring a pared-down, Zen approach, Bazooka designed a series of brochures centred around natural elements photographed on stained wood. Seldom used for this type of product, the close-ups let the viewer fully appreciate the effect of the wood finish on the wood. The new brochures, as beautiful as they are striking, are in high demand and constantly being reprinted.

  • CIL/PPG

    Packaging

    PPG wanted to revitalize CIL, its entry-level brand, while respecting the brand’s core attribute of affordability.

    Bazooka gave the CIL brand a neater, more modern look, accessible to everyone. We created photographic icons and developed an inspiring setting for each finish, imparting a fresh, more urban personality to the range.

  • SICO/PPG

    Packaging

    Sico launched a superior-quality paint whose name and design needed to reflect its exceptional and aspirational qualities.

    The success of this new brand relied on a visual identity that charismatically conveyed its artistic flair. Bazooka created a revolutionary “gallon” of paint featuring hot-stamping, metallic colours and embossing. Along with an inspiring name, the new labels directly target consumers seeking a top-of-the-line product.

TAFISA
  • TAFISA

    Green launch

    Bazooka designed eco-friendly iconography to highlight the beauty, form and function of decorative laminates made from plants.

  • TAFISA

    Magazine ads

    Bazooka developed an ad campaign based on the concept of texture, shooting the handbags of fashion designer Denis Gagnon, no less, against the tactile laminate backdrops. A real invitation to reach out and touch.

  • TAFISA

    Binder

    Bazooka developed a series of high-end tools with a fresh, user-friendly look. This fashion-inspired “mix and match” approach invites designers to play and create.

    With wood samples shaped like Scrabble tiles, the binder became an invaluable all-in-one tool for designers.

  • TAFISA

    Brochure

    Updated every two years, the brochure reinforces Tafisa’s imagery, whether by promoting new products, leveraging the latest trend or expressing classic elegance.

    Point-of-sale advertising

    To highlight the night cream as just one example, Bazooka created a promotion featuring a pillow as satiny-smooth as the cream, and used hot-stamped packaging to instantly attract attention on the shelf.

  • DERMTEK

    Reversa imagery

    Bazooka designed the packaging for the 15 products launched by the Reversa brand over the years, developing a colour system and one texture per product to make choosing easy for consumers.

    Reversa promotion

    Bazooka created an ultra-feminine poster that subsequently made its way into every dermatologist’s waiting room.

  • DERMTEK

    Product launch

VAN HOUTTE / ADAGIO
  • Van Houtte

    Van Houtte wanted to update its logo and merchandising tools, all while respecting its well-recognized imagery.

    Bazooka emphasized the brand’s European, gourmet positioning by refining the existing logo and graphics to convey distinction and leadership. A new slogan, still currently used, was created in both French and English. This new identity was then carried throughout the brand, from takeout cups to in-store advertising.

  • ADAGIO

    Van Houtte wanted to launch a new line of coffees, this time in fine food outlets, using a gourmet boutique approach.
