This time in the ‘Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2010′

Mystery is very proud to announce that we have been shortlisted down to the final five, in the Identity Design section of the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2010 for our work creating new brand, ‘Butternut Kitchen Café’.

Mystery worked strategically to define the brand name and positioning for Butternut Kitchen Café before designing this ‘characterful’ identity, fun graphics and wholesome interior scheme for the pilot site in central Exeter.

We hope it makes you smile…

We’re smiling because it’s the fourth time we have been shortlisted in the last four competitions that we have entered. Now there’s a reason to show off!

The Daily Mail’s ‘Young Entrepreneur of the Year!’

Mystery are thrilled that Priya Lakhani has been named by the Daily Mail as ‘Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2009′.

Priya commissioned Mystery to design the identity and packaging for Masala Masala, her new brand of fresh and natural, authentic Indian ‘stir-in’ cooking sauces.

Within six months of launching, Masala Masala is stocked in all the Waitrose stores, Ocado.com, Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Budgens supermarkets.

It was important to design a package that reflects Masala Masala’s unique charitable promise: “For every pot sold we will provide a meal to a homeless person in India.” To reinforce that ethical stance, Mystery created a ‘hand on heart’ symbol to act as the brand identity.

ELLE Magazine’s ‘Website of the Month!’

‘RentYourRocks.com’ is setting a new trend offering fine Jewellery hire for women who want to look fabulous at special occasions and weddings.

Mystery was commissioned to undertake a strategic brand positioning exercise to define the tone-of-voice for the brand-character. Having conceived this glamorous and credible brand personality, we then designed the brand identity, the website and the packaging to reflect those characteristics.

Each piece is beautifully wrapped and sent out in special gift box packaging designed by Mystery. It’s an affordable luxury that gives women a chance to feel amazing, without breaking the bank. As it says on the box… Welcome to your new best friend!

Working with in-house photographer Seb Pons, Mystery art-directed and shot the fashion lifestyle images for the site and marketing communications.
