Cremico Is A Soup Brand That Will Make You Want To Travel The World

Soup is one of those foods that you take a bite of and instantly feel comforted. But, what if soup could be a food that inspires adventure and culture? Peru-based Fibra Branding has created the branding for Cremico, a brand by chef Ricardo Goachet that communicates the more profound and unforgettable flavors that food can create.

Inspired by Wes Anderson, there are strong Safari themes throughout, including the iconic monkey rooted in the name, "crem" meaning soup in Spanish, and "mico" meaning monkey. The rich orange, reds, and yellows throughout help define the adventurous side of the brand. Who knew a soup brand could inspire one to fill their passports while filling their bellies?

Ricardo Goachet is a chef that wanted to communicate by food something deeper than unforgettable flavors. He wanted to create an experience through his dishes that teleport people to different places with a single taste. That’s how Cremico was born, a brand of soup that will make you travel the world.

Solution

The main obstacle in design was to communicate the concept of traveling around the world with a single approach that covers every country. The solution was to tie the brand design to the idea of something exotic and natural, so we could find a balance. In this manner, the concept “Flavor tripper” was born. The exotic approach addresses an unknown and mysterious place, while the idea of nature is because of the natural ingredients that the chef uses to prepare the soup. That’s why the brand has a safari atmosphere, which is strongly inspired in Wes Anderson films. All of this with the purpose of showing the idea of travel with the symmetric, clean and sophisticated aesthetic of the director.

The name of the brand is strongly linked to our character, the monkey. It represents the trip, the adventure and that exotic feeling. “Cremi” comes from “Crema” (soup in spanish) , and “mico” is because of the monkey (“mico” is also monkey in spanish). That's why the brand is called Cremico. Based on this, we always shows this character sailing around the world and exploring new flavors. In addition, the color palette is worm like soup. As well as this dish is usually related to comfort and nostalgia, we were looking for a sensation of nostalgia that people feel after traveling to an unforgettable destination. That’s why the brand design, photography and art direction make allusion of the past. The idea was to create a feeling of nostalgia for a place that we probably don’t know yet. We wanted to make people feel that the products have traveled from a place far, far away to their front doors.
