Hen of the Woods Kettle Chips Unveils Colorful New Branding
Snack company Hen of the Woods is pleased to announce a package redesign for their ever-popular line of kettle cooked potato chips.
Enlisting the talent of long-time branding collaborators and fellow Cincinnatians Holotype, the new-look features an eye-catching updated logo, emphasized word marking and a unique two-tone matte and iridescent metallic layout that reflects Hen of the Woods’ one-of-a-kind flavor offerings.
Expect to see the new product packaging jumping off national retailer (and virtual) shelves this month.

A prism of vibrant, updated colors showcase Hen of the Woods’ unique takes on classic flavor profiles including Red Wine Vinegar, Buttermilk & Chive, Sea Salted, Carolina BBQ, Everything Bagel and White Cheddar Jalapeño.

Brady DeLong, Chief Operating Officer of Hen of the Woods:
"After four years, we wanted to refresh the personality of our brand in the eyes of consumers that mirrors who we are today."Putting emphasis on type and font size and shifting the focus to the name Hen of the Woods, the new look is designed to strengthen on-shelf presence and attract attention in brick-and-mortar stores and on screen.
"As a small, family-owned and operated independent snack company, the fresh and refined work that Holotype produced puts us in a different league brand-wise, punching above our weight."
"There is nothing else like it out there in the salty snacks vernacular."

Dale Doyle, Creative Director of Holotype:
"Flavor is king in the snack aisle, so we wanted to lean in hard through full floods of color on pack, and evolve away from the half-white, half-color on the previous packaging."Hen of the Woods has worked with Holotype for more than four years and has been the instrumental part of not only defining their packaging, but the brand overall.
"The design architecture of the package is very strong, yet allows for new flavors to come into the current family through bold hits of color."
"The rings have always been a part of this quirky brand, and we thought it would serve as a nice, dynamic backdrop to the illustration of the hen illustration."
"The metallic finish for the rings does a nice job of catching the light, and the ultimately, the consumer's eyes at the shelf."
Brady DeLong:
"Holotype and the people behind it are what I consider to be our secret weapon. They’ve been friends of the brand for years now and the design and strategy they’ve helped us with have taken us from a little hometown favorite to a regional household name and now to a coast-to-coast category competitor."It has been an expansive year for Hen of the Woods. In addition to the punchy rebranding, Hen of the Woods has introduced two new dip flavors—Buffalo Ranch and Chipotle Ranch—to their product offerings.
"The little Instagram message Dale sent us in 2018 led to one of the best partnerships we’ve ever formed."
"Holotype is deeply passionate about working with brands and founders that disrupt categories, and the team at Hen of the Woods were born to change the game in the salty snack category."
"I mean, who puts a hen and rings of a tree on their packaging for a kettle chip brand? They do, and it does a magnificent job stopping the consumer in the aisle to look deeper into why"
