Mindsparkle: Butterfly Hunters Armenia DATE March 24, 2026 EDITOR Mindsparkle Mag MU:UD Nicotine Pouches Brand Identity and Packaging Design by Butterfly HuntersThe studio were entrusted with shaping the visual identity for MU:UD, @muudnations — nicotine pouches available in 8 vibrant flavors. The challenge was to design a product that would shift the perception of an entire category in the European market. Instead of a technical product, as the audience mostly interpreted it, MU:UD needed to position itself as a guide for moments of rest, entertainment, and fun. Eye-catching playfulness became the cornerstone of the art direction.
To establish a recognizable brand signature, we translated the source of each flavor – fruits and berries – into intuitively recognizable dynamic geometrical patterns with a subtle tribal touch. The result became vibrant accessory-like packages that instantly stand out on the shelves.
Additionally, the eye-candy color combinations have the potential to improve the consumer’s mood and foster mental relaxation by resembling kaleidoscopic sound visualizations.
The article discusses a branding strategy for a specific product that aims to shift consumer perceptions, which is significant for the industry, though the approach of using vibrant packaging is somewhat common.
