Monday Collective Creates the Brand Design for Mina Harissa

The brand identity simply expresses the culinary culture, provenance and authenticity of Mina Harissa, a sauce hailed as the heart and soul of Moroccan cuisine.

Jan 20 2012 --- The sauce and condiment categories are bursting with products trying to appeal to a consumer in search of new tastes and authentic experiences. Mina Harissa is a new, premium Moroccan red pepper sauce simply made with six natural ingredients (red bell pepper, red chili pepper, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt) and comes in three flavors (mild, medium, spicy).

Co-Founder, Fouad Kallamni, came to Monday Collective for a brand design that both differentiates within a crowded category and connects with the taste conscious consumer.

The brand identity simply expresses the culinary culture, provenance and authenticity of Mina Harissa, a sauce hailed as the heart and soul of Moroccan cuisine. The simple brand icon captures the essence of Mina Harissa by using the six ingredients of the sauce within the shape of a red bell pepper when cut in two. Its style reflects patterns and graphics found on traditional Moroccan tiles and textiles. The logo was inspired by Arabic letter forms, expressed with a touch of contemporary style. All of this combined with a color palette of tones of black with a hit of spicy vibrancy gives Mina Harissa a premium, authentic style that sets it apart from the other sauce brands.
