Naked

California Dreamin’

As “the OG since 1983,” Naked’s funky refresh takes inspiration from its California-dreamer founders who slung their small-batch smoothies on the beaches of Santa Monica. Despite pioneering the smoothie category 40 years ago, the portable and better-for-you catergory has only grown. Beloved by Millennial and Gen X consumers for their functional benefits, the brand needed to resonate with a new Gen Z audience—and differentiate itself from new players. The redesign draws from Naked’s California dreamin’ spirit and the funky-fresh energy of its laid-back juice-shack beginnings. Hand-drawn typography, an imperfect shape language, playful fruit photography, and a layered, textural design system express the delicious goodness in every bottle. Moving away from traditional “white means healthy” cues, a new, colorful maximalism embraces a Gen Z “more-is-more” mindset around functional benefits. For the new hyper-functional line, color depth intensifies and the claims corridor expands, amplifying visual impact while reinforcing the perception of boosted benefits. The result is a fresh yet authentic evolution that celebrates Naked’s OG heritage while inviting a new generation to experience health in a way that feels easy, expressive, and unmistakably California.

Coco Gauff Collaboration

Often seen fueling up on fresh fruit mid-match, tennis star Coco Gauff was the obvious partner to be Naked's first ever Chief Smoothie Officer. Packed with 20 grams of plant-based protein, Coco collaborated with Naked on a new flavor. To celebrate the smoothie's namesake and amplified benefits, fruit visuals gave way to Coco and claims, creating a flexible system for future partnerships. Match, point!
