Great work with minimal instructions. The experience with Studio Matte team was amazing overall. When I saw the packaging the first time it was produced, I felt like the investment has paid off.

Taste the crunch. Feel the difference.
Hummzies is a Canadian brand offering a new take on snacking — protein-packed, vegan, and oven-baked hummus chips designed for health-conscious, active individuals who want to upgrade their snacks without compromising on taste. The visual identity and packaging design reflect this philosophy with a bold yet minimal approach. The concept was built around standing out on crowded shelves while keeping the design clean, approachable, and clear.
Project Overview

Standing Out Without Shouting
At the heart of the identity is the Hummzies wordmark — a simple, confident design with a subtle, clever twist. One of the "m"s is slightly tilted, mimicking the natural "mmm" sound that comes with a satisfying, tasty snack. It's a minimal but playful detail that reinforces the brand's promise of deliciousness. Color & Packaging Concept Our field research revealed a common trend among healthy snack brands: light colors, pastel tones, and predominantly white backgrounds. Hummzies intentionally breaks this pattern. We opted for rich, saturated backgrounds — deep blue, bold red, and forest green — to create instant shelf impact and visual distinction. The minimal layout allows consumers to easily identify the product and its key benefits at a glance. Typography & Visual Language The typography is modern, clear, and friendly — perfectly in line with the brand's positioning as accessible yet premium. Supporting graphics, like floating ingredients and snack pieces, emphasize the crunchy, irresistible nature of the product while keeping the design playful and dynamic. Final Result The overall design strikes a balance between healthy and tasty, minimal and bold. It speaks to consumers who care about what they eat — and enjoy every bite.
