Nakhla

Six years of equity in a mark nobody wanted to lose, and a label system that could not tell two honeys apart. A refresh, not a rebrand.

The story

01 — THE BRIEF
Nakhla’s mark is known among Saudi honey buyers and was not the problem. The labels were: eleven varieties printed from the same template with the name swapped, which is why the store had to explain the price difference in words.
02 — APPROACH
Kept the mark and rebuilt everything around it — the word ‘refresh’ was taken literally, not used as cover for a rebrand. A label system where origin is a colour field and floral source is a drawn icon, so two jars differ before a word is read. Arabic set in a naskh with proper kashida in the display line, drawn by hand per variety rather than left to the renderer.
03 — OUTCOME
Shelf recognition held — the mark did its job — while the varieties finally separated. The store stopped having to argue the price in copy.
