• Splendidly Simple Identity

  
  

  Lovely little ice-cream brand designed by Elementville. Has a really humility and authenticity about it. Definitely a brand I would engage with and trust!

• Packaging Emotion

  
  Wow! Talk about giving your brand character and cut through. Us brand specialists ramble on about how important it is to bring emotion to the forefront of your brand, but most of the time our words fall on deaf ears – that is, until something this visually powerful is presented, and then people begin to understand the potential value of those words. Never easy to go against the status quo, but if your going to do it, do it like this!! Love it!! – packaging designed by Lg2boutique.

• Animated Wine Label from Argentina

  
  For me, this one comes back to that old concept – if you want to stand out, you have to do something to make people talk about you… and what a conversation piece this would be. Clever stuff from studio Elhombredelalata.

• Chocolate – the old fashioned way!

  
  
  
  Love this old school chocolate packaging. The The Mast brothers make their chocolate like 19th century artisans, a small shop making small batches. Read more here.

• Packaged to WOW!!

  
  The words strangely wonderful come to mind! The top image is a range of hot sauces, and the bottom items are dry rubs. These startling packaging designs were the creation of design prodigy – Michael Freimuth.

• Refined typography meets the ‘Aussie Bloke’

  

  The creative chaps from South-SouthWest have managed to encapsulate the characteristics of the ‘Aussie Bloke’ in a typeface, and still create a really refined piece of design. Great work lads!
