5 GUM

By defining a brand personality of young, cool and mysterious, a huge opportunity surfaced to use a rich black color pallet that would stand apart from the sea of rainbow colors the competition was using. A brand name of ‘5’ was developed that references the 5 senses that the product was designed to awaken. The final package employed embossing, varnishes and foils that all enhanced the visual and tactile nature of the 5 senses concept.
