Redesign for Accessibility

A packaging redesign that expands Clif Bar’s visual identity to better represent the diverse athletes and everyday individuals who rely on it for fuel.
Problem. The existing Clif Bar packaging centered almost entirely on climbing imagery, even though the brand fuels a much wider range of athletes and everyday consumers. While Clif sponsors athletes across multiple sports, the visual identity on the packaging represented only one activity. This limited representation created a disconnect between the brand and many of the people who rely on Clif for energy during different types of movement. Concept. The concept focused on creating a stronger sense of ownership within the brand for a broader community of consumers. By expanding the visual language beyond climbing, the design aimed to represent the many athletes and everyday individuals who use Clif as fuel. The goal was to shift from a single-sport narrative to a more dynamic identity that reflects movement, activity, and accessibility across a variety of sports and lifestyles. Solution. The redesigned packaging introduces a bold and streamlined visual system that highlights figures in motion, representing a wider range of activities. The original illustrated mountain was reimagined into a sleeker, more vibrant design that stands out across environments where athletes need quick fueling. To maintain the heart of the original brand, the mountains were integrated into the red background that frames the new “C” logo, preserving Clif’s heritage while expanding its visual identity to better represent its diverse community of users.
