Defrosting Menchie's: A Rebrand

U OVERVIEW

Context

This student project reimagines Menchie's Frozen Yogurt, a family friendly dessert franchise whose playful visual identity had begun to feel outdated. The redesign refreshes the brand through a modernized logo, updated packaging, and a cohesive campaign strategy, while preserving the warmth, joy, and sense of familiarity that define the Menchie’s experience.

U BRAND ANALYSIS

A family friendly brand built around joy and connection

Menchie’s target demographic is families, children, teens, and young adults—anyone who enjoys sweet treats in a cheerful social environment. Frozen yoghurt is popular for casual outings, social gatherings, and family-friendly occasions.

Competitor Analysis

To understand the current industry, I compared Menchie's to competitor brands that appealed to the target demographic I identified.

I analyzed Menchie’s two main competitors, Yogen Fruz and Yogurtys, with a particular focus on Yogen Fruz. Yogen Fruz has a strong, minimalist brand identity, with clean packaging that aligns well with the “clean girl” aesthetic popular among teens and young adults. It also maintains a clear and recognizable visual system, and actively engages audiences through Instagram Reels and trend-based content.

U THE PROBLEM

Outdated and Illegible

Menchie’s target demographic is families, children, teens, and young adults—anyone who enjoys sweet treats in a cheerful social environment. Frozen yoghurt is popular for casual outings, social gatherings, and family-friendly occasions.

U PROBLEM STATEMENT

How might we reimagine Menchie's brand identity to connect with both nostalgic families and a new generation of teens while keeping its playful spirit?

U REFLECTION

Key Takeaway

Working with an established brand made it clear that respect for what already exists can be just as important as introducing something new. Instead of rebuilding everything from the ground up, subtle shifts like updated colour systems and refined visual styling were often enough to modernize the identity while still preserving its history, recognition, and character.
