With their vitamin-packed frozen smoothies, Bimmi brings a whole new category to the supermarket freezer: an all-natural treat that’s equally delicious for dessert as it is as fuel for a workout. Made entirely from wholefood ingredients, Bimmi is more than just a snack. Instead of a quick carbohydrate hit, it’s full of slow-release energy from nuts and seeds. Instead of added sugars, its flavour comes from the finest-quality fruit and veg. Instead of dull and everyday, it’s a beautiful poem from nature.

The identity was crafted using an all-analogue approach to communicate the all-natural ingredients of the frozen smoothie. The only tools used were a scissor for the visual elements while the word mark and all other typography were meticulously crafted using an Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter, drawing inspiration from the visual style of concrete poetry.
The type of the word mark is always the same size as the original typewriter—the bigger the logotype, the more characters.
There’s no shortage of frozen desserts in supermarkets, but none of them offer much in the way of actual nutrition. In partnership with a Swiss food lab staffed by former Michelin-starred chefs, Bimmi has developed a range of frozen snacks made entirely from fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and wholegrain cereals that’s nourishing without compromising on the flavour you’d expect from a less healthy product. This is a bold new category in Swedish supermarkets, and Bimmi demanded a brand and packaging that made Swedes crave their frozen smoothies.
Bimmi’s entire range is made from all-natural products like fruit, nuts, and seeds, as well as some ingredients you wouldn’t expect to find in a dessert, like cabbage, chickpeas, millet and spinach. Their methods are innovative, but their product is all natural, which is reflected in the tagline, “Nature’s Poetry”. To capture both sides of the brand it was essential to create a suite of assets that were analog and felt natural, but were used in exciting and innovative ways.
Inspired by concrete poetry, the Bimmi logotype is made entirely from type-written letterforms, with each letter of the brand name comprising hundreds of smaller letters. This creates a scalable, variable word mark — the bigger the mark, the more analog letters are used. Alongside the word mark sit a range of cut-out illustrated assets depicting a variety of ingredients, to quickly communicate Bimmi’s natural, healthful benefits even from deep within the freezer.
