Wedo is healthy food that fits you. We transformed the brand to fit the business.

Redefining the brand

Copenhagens no 1 chain of convenience salad shops needed to differentiate from other restaurants in the take-away market. We developed a brand strategy and a visual identity to clearly define and express Wedos identity. Wedo is a growing and successful business, tapping into the global healthy lifestyle trend.

Identity exploration

Creating a successful brand is all about exploring and focusing the inherent characteristics of a brands identity. Wedofood had grown out of being a catering business and had established three take-away restaurants focusing on greens.

Being among the first delivering a tasty experience of choosing your own healthy salad ingredients, Wedofood had growing potential. But the shops were messy, the messaging was a mix of odd ideas and the name carried the old company story about “food”. To understand the existing Wedofood authentic identity, we interviewed customers, employees and the founder of the business. We identified the authentic strengths of Wedofood and used them to develop the potential future scenarios for the brand. These statements of "who we are" is a platform to formulate strategy and the future purpose of the company.

  • Scenario 1: Healthy + You decide 
  • Scenario 2: Healthy + Space for differences 
  • Scenario 3: Always care + Local and socially engaged 

The owners chose scenario 1, focusing on “Healthy” and “You decide” as strategic guidance and to position the new brand in a growing and competitive convenience food market.

Focusing the brand

Logo Wedo 1220X549

The most important factor about a brand, is the name. To keep continuity and yet energize the brand to a contemporary Nordic market, we shortened the name to “Wedo”. It leaves out the old story of “food” and feels more like a name.

Your brand name has to be simple. The experiences, space, visuality and sound around the name will build the associations in the minds of customers Nikolaj Stagis
CEO

We developed the core narrative, the brand values and described the most important factors to enhance, in order for the brand to stand out in the market.

Visual identity

Wedo’s visual identity brings the corporate brand to life. We created the new logo, typography, colors, photography style, shop signage and new packaging concept.

Because health is a big part of the new brand, it was important to bring it to live in the visual identity, so we created a color scheme to express the change of the seasons food.

Healthy living and salads may be green. But vegetables and seasons are all about color. With a new color palet the Wedo brand communicates two things; We are connected to the time of year and we let you decide exactly how you want to compose your meal. By following the time of year in Wedos visual communication, the brand is always reflecting the ambience.

Packaging design

Wedo Branding Elements 1220X549

The brand experience is so much more than visual design. The journey through space, how the staff act and what they wear and how you navigate; from entering the door to sharing your meal or walking out the door with a paper bag.

We developed the over all packaging design and suggested small sparkles of humor and vivid color to spice up the brand experience. We wanted to balance the message of ”health” with a feeling of joy. For the basic introduction of the new brand we developed a style focused on the new name and logo. Later initiatives include copy that use the Wedo-name actively.

Mixing the green brand color with personal clothing and a touch of bright yellow, blue or pink helps the brand express both continuity and personality.

Shop communication

Plakat V2

As a customer at Wedo, you decide. What you want in your dish, what ’healthy’ means to you and if you want to eat at the restaurant or at home. We developed an image concept that uses the ingredients isolated to construct colorful graphic patterns. Large format posters in the shop windows will communicate new unique combinations and reflect the time of year.
