A Balance of Legacy and Change

Revamping an iconic brand required careful consideration. While MTR’s signature red remained, a bold sans-serif logo added a contemporary edge, and fresh green accents highlighted its commitment to natural ingredients.

The result was a rooted transformation—honoring MTR’s heritage while creating a more structured, modern, and engaging packaging system that resonated with evolving consumer needs.
