The brief
§01 / Brief
In 2019, almost no Coimbatore retailer was selling pesticide-free, residue-free produce - and making that promise visible enough to believe before you ask. Go Green Agro Foods wanted the whole brand, top to bottom: the name, a mark that works in English and Tamil, the FMCG packaging line, the storefront and signage, staff uniforms, and every piece of launch creative.
The relationship
§02 / Relationship
The engagement was a project, not a retainer - a complete brand engineering brief executed end-to-end in the months leading up to the 15 December 2019 launch at Father Rhondy Street, off TV Samy Road, RS Puram. Naming, identity, packaging across the FMCG line, bilingual storefront decals, uniforms with PMS-locked colours, the launch advertisement in Kovai Metro, the electronic invite for opening day, the New Year creative that ran straight after. One brand voice, deployed across every artefact a new retail business needed to walk in the door.
The mark
A mark drawn from the soil and the sky.
Every element of the Maasilla mark carries a meaning specific to the no-pesticide promise. The intro letter - written for retailers, partners, and the first-week customers - explains the symbolism plainly, in the same language the brand uses on the storefront.
- 01
The blue M
A mountain. Terra firma. Drawn in PMS 301 C blue - the colour of earth and sky, the colours customers most associate with cleanliness and trust.
- 02
Green ellipses below
Intertwining earths - soil above and soil below - and water drops. Drawn in PMS 7481 C green to read as growth and expanding horizons.
- 03
Soft round forms
Ellipses and circles chosen over sharp angles to portray calm farm scenery rather than industrial production. Friendship, community, endurance.
- 04
Bilingual wordmark
English maasilla and Tamil மாசில்லா drawn as equal-strength marks so the brand reads natively to both audiences walking into RS Puram.
The work, in parts
§03 / Scope of engagement
01
Naming
Tamil for 'pure and unsullied.' Carried as a bilingual mark - English wordmark and Tamil மாசில்லா at equal strength.
02
Identity
Blue M drawn as a mountain. Green ellipses as intertwining earth and water. PMS 301C + PMS 7481C, codified for print and apparel.
03
The No Pesticide seal
A weight-bearing red ribbon seal reading MAASILLA · NO PESTICIDE · HEALTH WISE. Reads as a quality stamp at thumbnail size on every artefact.
04
FMCG packaging line
Cold-pressed oils in glass with paper-and-blue labels. Spices in green resealable pouches with a clear window. The master mark and No Pesticide seal on every pack.
05
Storefront and environment
Window decals in English and Tamil running the full length of the shop. A backlit signboard above the entrance. Inside, branded green crates and shelving from door to back wall.
06
Uniform system
Blue polo with green collar and cuff, matching cap. PMS specifications shipped with the brand book for consistent reorders.
