NOLA, the Egyptian dessert brand founded in 2010, has rolled out a new brand identity designed by Cairo agency Buzz & Co.

Rather than a full redesign, the work refines NOLA’s existing logo into a more balanced, lasting form while keeping its recognizable character. Buzz & Co. built the new identity around a narrative idea, positioning NOLA as the author of its own dessert “stories,” with each creation framed as part of a larger tale.

That thinking carries into the packaging, designed as an illustration led system that stays consistent across the range while letting each box hold its own story and characters, seen across designs like Desserts in Bloom, The Buttercream Wonderland, and The Sweet Jungle.
