Tomato paste does important work quietly, building depth in sauces, soups, beans, and stews. Most brands in the category lean on red packaging and Italian heritage cues. Toomato's triple-concentrated paste stood apart: intense flavor from a small amount.
We positioned the brand as a small ingredient with an outsized presence. We named it Toomato, adding an extra "o" to "tomato" to make "too much" a compliment. "Too much tomato" set the attitude, "triple concentrated" grounded it in the product, and "use less" expressed the practical promise.
The identity made concentration visible. We reduced the tomato to a ring and stem, the palette to a single unapologetic red, and the language to short, emphatic statements. A bold, condensed typeface gave them impact on shelf and street. These choices gave a quietly powerful ingredient a presence to match.
