Borzay: Dog Brand Identity and Packaging Design by Yulia Noten
Hamburg-based Yulia Noten built the Borzay packaging design around real dog behavior — stubborn, mud-curious, never the idealized good boy. And it shows.
Borzay is a contemporary dog-goods brand — collars, treats, grooming — and its packaging design refuses the usual premium-pet register of clean sans-serifs and sage-and-cream palettes. The name itself echoes borzoi: a breed that carries an aristocratic silhouette outdoors and turns into a goofball at home. Noten made that split legible in print. The identity holds a taut line between precision-fit durability and real canine behavior: playful, stubborn, mud-curious dogs who deserve better regardless of their behavior record. Structural packaging forms sit beside hand-drawn lettering and messaging that reads nothing like typical dog-goods copy.
A Packaging Design System Built Around the Unruly Dog
Noten developed the full system from Hamburg, producing a packaging design language that spans treat bags, collar packaging, and grooming products without defaulting to cuteness. Each format holds the brand posture: not aspirational, not clinical, rooted in the texture of actual dog ownership. The tagline — not for good boys only — does the positioning work in five words.
