Reviewed: New Logo and Packaging for Byte Bars by Cast Iron Design

“Byte your Tongue”

Launched in 2019, Byte Bars is a new brand of snack bars loaded with simple, whole, vegan ingredients and made with MCT oil, the healthy fat derived from coconuts, that helps burn fat for energy and boost your metabolism. Started by a duo of cousins in Boulder, CO, the identity and packaging for Byte Bars was designed by local firm Cast Iron Design.

Representing a cross-generational, free-spirited vibe, the shapes of the type and icons are influenced by the groovy 1960s and the vivid color palette is drawn from the electric poppiness of the 80s and early 90s.

Playing off of the brand name, we developed a series of mouth icons of varying detail. Combined with an extensive color palette, the dozens of potential icons allow Byte to give each bar their own look and keep the brand fresh.

Wordmark color animation.

The wordmark, typeset in Oh No's Cheee, which is described as a "high contrast blobber, designed to be used large, and for a slightly stoney vibe", is exactly that: a slightly stoney vibe of a blobber that for some unknown reason fits perfectly a brand of healthy, feel-good snack bars made in Colorado. To some of youse's disappointment, no, this do not contain cannabis despite all the visual hints that it would. The wordmark puts the funky in, well, funky and it's really all kinds of loose fun. The addition of lips and mouths... I think I personally could have done without but they do add a nice touch and additional layer of quirkiness to the identity.

Nice detail of the wordmark going across the different flavors.

The packaging dips back into the Oh No well with the use of Hobeaux as the primary typeface for the flavors, supported by Process Type Foundry's Anchor (which literally helps anchor the layouts with its normalcy). The boxes and single packs are all kinds of loud and colorful yet deceivingly minimal in their design. I love the detail of the wordmark going across the three flavors in the boxes and the copywriting addition of "AF" next to "GF" -- to keep things PG-rated, though, "AF" stands for "And Fun" in the Byte Bar world.

T-shirts. Yeah, the crop top, I know... but, hey, I had to look at it, so you have to look at it too.

At a time when snack bars come in all kinds of novel ingredient combinations and health-boosting motivations, making one brand stand out from the others is no easy task and this one does that through its wild, bold design and free-spirit attitude. I don't know if it's enough to sustain it in the long run but definitely enough to enter the market and demand attention to be tried at least once.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organ...

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne...

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
