All about Feta & Olive oil

Optima Feinkost visual identity

The new logo and visual identity designed by Red Creative unifies and strengthens the company and brand image throughout the complete product range.

An owl, symbol of greek goddess Athena, was chosen to reflect the brand’s greek origins and affinity to natural living, while elliptic illustration and friendly, organic colours, create an easily identifiable and memorable mark. The “Optima” type is solid and geometric, a reference to ancient greek letterforms, juxtaposed with a serifed, almost musical “feinkost”.

The product range is visually unified by a bright V-shaped area, inspired by the owl beak, common to all packaging and labels, reinforcing shelf recognition and product visual identity. At the same time, a series of greek tradition inspired patterns with earthy and vibrant colours is employed to identify and distinguish the various product types and flavours.
