Holy Crap Rebranding & Package Design
Nutritiously balanced, good for people and delicious, Holy Crap put happiness into every pouch, and the ease their cereals bring to breakfast makes you feel good. This feeling informed our creative journey; the logo, redrawn from scratch, feels bold and polished, but retains a joyful hand-drawn quality. This rebranding transitioned Holy Crap from the—dare we say “crappy”— logo and metallic packages to a modern, matte and eye-catching stand-up pouch with a cheeky logo that really stands out!
Happy from the Inside Out
With a goal to make people happy from the inside out, Zesty Brands developed a brand strategy and brand identity that exudes a happy and approachable feel. Framing the idea of happiness, the lively logo features a subtle smiley face, helping customers discover some delight in their shopping experience.
Photography
Photography, food styling and post-production for Holy Crap Cereal imagery was done in-house at Zesty Brands.
Supporting the Holy Crap brand identity, the naked spoons with ingredients spilling out supports the simple and bold packaging and really pops off the shelf.
Brand success that'll have you saying Holy Crap!
Sales of Holy Crap™ increased over 166% since the re-branding. The team quoted on Yahoo Finance, “With the new packaging and marketing strategy we expect to continue the growth trajectory of the breakfast cereal.”

Working with Rachelle was a delight! You know when you are looking for a place to live, and you walk into the house that just feels like home? You know that feeling? Well we had that feeling early on with Rachelle.
She showed us a few concepts for our new Holy Crap™ packaging, and she nailed it! We knew working with her was our one! Not only do we love our new packaging, but our customers and retail partners also feel the same way.
