BAG-IN-BOX WINE

| concept | design | logo | handlettering | 

Define: Meet Diego, born in southern Spain, and striving to cultivate 100% organic grapes to produce a delicious wine which reflects the passion and determination of its grower.

Design: We chose to convey Diego’s passion by using his portrait in the brand identity. The footprints and the rough, hand-drawn, carved typography reinforce the idea of the hard, earthy work in preparing the soil for the growing of the grapes, while the vine which trails along the box is a reminder of the natural growing process. The design is printed on craft material, resonating with the organic, natural origin of the wine.

Results: This bag-in-box is already very successful in Denmark.

Define:
Good concept starts with a good name: to suit the french spirit and sunny Mediterranee, a french name seemed predicted.

“Et Moi” (which can translated by Me Me Me) is simple, short and can be understood and pronounced by anyone.

Design:
As the name says it all, it was important to put all the emphasis on it.

Bold and black embossed letters on a textured paper offers the maximum contrast.

An elegant and lyric pink icon repeating the name “Et Moi” is balancing the design and adding a French Touch to it.

Results:
Et Moi is to be enjoyed in Horeca in Netherlands.

Time to discover:

Define: L'Ode is an innovative fruit juice combining the sweetness of dates with a hint of a second natural ingredient.

Design: Dates are seen as gems, so the design has a jewel-like quality. The design had to be very graphic with a limited number of colours because of the screen-printing technique. The design’s vibrant colours contrasted beautifully with the rich terracotta colour of the drink, creating the feeling of a taste explosion. 

Results: L'Ode is available in organic boutiques and gourmet restaurants in three flavours and is certified organic.

BERGAMOT JUICE

| concept | design | logo | lettering |

Define: Create graphic language to express the unique taste and the Italian origin of this bergamot juice.

Mixed with apple juice from the Dolomites, it brings a unique citrus taste with a bitter tang so beloved by Italians.

Design: The beautiful shape of the bergamot needed to feature in the identity. The name Bella Berga gives the product a lovely Italian feel. The client wanted the label to reflect the natural simplicity of the product, so we designed an uncomplicated but distinctive icon with the BB enlacing the bergamot fruit.
