About the brand#

Vee’s City is a premium, traditional African snack brand known for its delicious Chinchin Villa snacks. The challenge for a food brand like this is to feel rooted in tradition and still look premium on a shelf, on a menu and on a phone screen. Four brand values guide the design: Authentic, Tasty, Premium and Tradition.

What we delivered#

We handled the full branding for Vee’s City:

  • Brand identity design: logo, colour palette and visual language.
  • Packaging design: takeaway bags, food boxes, containers and cups.
  • Label design: product labels for each Chinchin Villa flavour.
  • Graphics design: signage, menus and social media posts.

The logo concept#

The emblem is a rounded, arch-shaped badge built from layered lines, a mark that feels crafted and traditional, like a seal of quality. Paired with a refined wordmark in warm gold on deep maroon, it gives the brand a confident, premium presence. A repeat pattern made from the emblem becomes a signature texture across packaging.

Colour#

A warm, appetising palette drawn from the food itself:

  • #880000: deep maroon, the brand’s anchor.
  • #DAA520: warm gold, for highlights and premium cues.
  • #D2B48C: tan, an earthy supporting tone.
  • #FFF8DC: cream, for light, clean space.
  • #222121: charcoal accent for contrast.
