MOMOJI - 2020, 2025

BRANDING & PACKAGING

MOMOJI is a playful momo brand from Viplavam Food Labs that began as a B2B product, supplying quality momos to local businesses in Thiruvananthapuram before expanding into the retail space with its own QSR stall.

Brand identity design

For the branding, the goal was to create a visual identity that felt fun, expressive, and relatable, capturing both the joy of the food and the brand’s warm, local personality. Drawing inspiration from the shape of a momo, the logo blends this form with a cheerful character design which is complete with expressive facial features reminiscent of a friendly Indian “Uncle”, giving the brand a memorable and inviting vibe.

The result is a visual identity that balances playfulness and cultural resonance, reflecting MOMOJI’s essence as a food brand with steaming good vibes at its core.

Momo Migration-Tracing Stories Through Food

Momos aren’t just food. They carry stories of home, migration, and identity. What we often enjoy as a comfort snack is, in reality, a vessel of memory and resilience.

This project dives into the story of the Tibetan diaspora and how momos became more than just a dish. In fact, they became a way of surviving, preserving culture, and building new lives in India.

As part of the brand storytelling for Momoji, we built a showcase page and illustration series that celebrates this journey, not just as a culinary experience but as a living cultural narrative.

Through visual storytelling, we aimed to:

  • Highlight the cultural history and migration behind momos.
  • Create a narrative bridge between brand and community.
  • Celebrate food as a form of resistance, identity, and belonging.
  • This work sits at the intersection of branding, illustration, and cultural storytelling, showing how design can hold space for history and emotion.
