Publicis Blueprint: George royal baby ad

Brand: GeorgeTitle(s): George Royal Baby adHeadline and copy text (in English): Congratulations from one George to another. 20% off all babywear offer ends midnight on Sunday. Agency: Publicis Blueprint, London, UKAgency Website: http://www.publicis-blueprint.co.ukCreative Director: Adam Nowell Art Director: Melisa LeeCopywriter: Carole HamiltonPhotographer: Ken NivenPublished: July 2013Short Rationale (optional): George were obviously in a unique position once the name of the baby was announced and we felt it was essential to include a play on words connecting the Prince's name to the brand. The blue eyed baby boy with gorgeous curls is just how we imagine Prince George could well look in a few months and it has lots of essential ahh factor. We wanted to keep the look of the ad very simple and the key messages 'congratulations from one George to another' and 'babywear fit for a prince' pretty much says it all. On this occasion ‘less is more’ was very effective. The style of the ad was quite a departure for the George brand but they felt such a unique occasion warranted a different approach.

Island Records/Universal Music Group: Mumford and Sons 'Hopeless Wanderer' music video

Brand: Island Records/Universal Music Group, Mumford & SonsTitle(s): Hopeless Wanderer music videoAdditional Credits: Director: Sam JonesDirector of Photography: Eric SchmidtEditor: Chetin ChabukProduction Company: Black Dog Films Executive Producer: Coleen HaynesProducer: Christian NurseMusic Video Commissioner: Mike MooneyPublished: August 2013Short Rationale (optional): Mumford & Sons step aside for a little self-mockery in their most recent video release “Hopeless Wanderer” from director Sam Jones. The clip opens with strategically misleading shots of what we presume to be the quartet performing in a pastoral field, before the camera slowly reveals comedians Jason Sudekis, Ed Helms, Will Forte and Jason Bateman standing in for the English folk-rockers. A slapstick impersonation unfolds satirizing everything from Mumford & Sons’ signature Dust Bowl aesthetic to their passionate, multi-instrumental playing style. The Black Dog director pulls no punches with comedy’s finest whose over-the-top antics include a rowboat serenade, a four-way cry-fest, bearded make-outs, and a rollicking banjo solo. The light-hearted video proves that however old-fashioned the Englishmen may be in style, Mumford & Sons is game for a taste of modern American comedy.

Anthem NY: Kellogg's retro packaging design for Target

Brand: Kellogg’s Title(s): Retro packaging design for TargetAgency: Anthem, New York, USA/Battlecreek, USAAgency Website: http://www.anthemww.comCreative Directors: Mark Meszaros and Gerard RizzoDesigner: Emily DolsonAdditional Credits: Account Management: Rachel Johnson, Ned JoyceShort Rationale (optional): Anthem created Kellogg Retro-inspired Packaging for Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops and Rice Krispies. This is in stores now, exclusive to Target, and is the first time in Kellogg’s history that they have offered Retro-inspired packaging. The launch is part of a program to celebrate Froot Loops 50th anniversary. Anthem developed packaging design that allowed each brand to stay true to its core equity, while tapping into the feeling of nostalgia consumers felt for simpler times. The packaging balances the style of the characters, typography and catch phrases to create something not only memorable but eye-catching for consumers both young and old.

Rosenstar GmbH: Weinbau Ottiger brand and packaging design

Brand: Weinbau OttigerTitle(s): Brand and packaging design Agency: Rosenstar GmbH, Luzern, Switzerland Agency website: http://www.rosenstar.chCreative Director: Jana YaacoubArt Director: Robine AffentrangerCopywriter: Matthias Troller, Trollhouser Illustrator: Robine AffentrangerPhotographer: Simon BolzernAdditional Credits: Brand Management: Selina Krummenacher Published: May 2013Short Rationale (optional): Weinbau Ottiger is one of central Switzerland’s major vineyards. Winemaker Toni Ottiger and his team combine a traditional approach with an innovative and open-minded attitude. The previous visual identity did not match the company’s character. A new name and brand design help to reposition the brand in the market and express what Weinbau Ottiger stands for: unique high-quality wines made with great passion. In a close collaboration with the company, Rosenstar developed the values on which the whole visual concept is based. Weinbau Ottiger’s new brand design is modern, simple, elegant and confident. Just like the vineyard. Based on this branding concept, a range of communication media was created. As a unique logo, the Ottiger ‘O’ lies at the heart of the visual identity, appearing on labels, packaging, vehicle markings and signage. Thanks to the sharp, incisive design, Ottiger Weinbau’s bottles now stand out on every wine shelf.

It really captures this new and fun way of creating cocktails.

Saint Bernadine Mission Communications Inc: R&B Brewing Packaging design

Brand: R&B BrewingTitle(s): East Side Bitter and Raven Cream Ale bottles and 6 pk cartonsAgency: Saint Bernadine Mission Communications Inc, Vancouver, CanadaAgency website: http://www.stbernadine.com Creative Director: David Walker, Andrew SamuelArt Director: Helen Eady, Rory O’SullivanIllustrator: Helen Eady, Rory O’SullivanAdditional credits: Production Artist: Lisa Blackburn, Printing: Sterling Packaging (cartons), Westkey Graphics (labels)Published: May 2013Short rationale (optional): R&B Brewing is one of Vancouver's original East Van micro breweries, predating the current trend by almost two decades. Partners Rick ("R") and Barry ("B") asked St. Bernadine to help with a packaging redesign, initiated by the move from 650mL bottles to a standard 341mL 6-pack format. The design language is inspired by R&B's resolutely hand crafted product – as such, every element on the packaging is rendered by hand, including the bar code. Bold silhouette key illustrations take their cues from the beers' quirky naming conventions, and strong colours aid standout and shelf blocking. Key brand story elements, hand rendered in expressive type, and additional varietal information, like IBU scale, boil information, aging temperature, hop and barley type and mix all support R&B's independent, craft positioning.

Little Big Brands: Salt of the Earth Bakery brand and packaging redesign

Brand: Salt of the Earth BakeryTitle(s): Brand and packaging redesignHeadline and copy text: Salt of the Earth Bakery has relaunched their artisan baked goods in fresh new structure and design worthy of these supremely delicious treats. The Bakery turned to branding partner Little Big Brands to lead the effort.Agency: Little Big Brands, White Plains NY, United StatesAgency website: www.littlebigbrands.comCreative Director: John NunziatoCopywriter: Pamela LongDesigner: Kelly WeeksPhotographer: Dave LazarusPublished: May 2013Short Rationale (optional): Salt of the Earth Bakery creations are unique in that each product is paired with the finest sea salts from around the world. Equally unique now is their packaging structure. Both cookies and brownies are housed in a custom craft box that hinges similar to a jewel box. It also features a large diecut window on top where the product is visible. The brand identity was cleaned up, given a more organic font, and depth and dimension added to the mark. Vibrant colors contrast the craft paper and are painted on the top and sides, with solid color peeking out from the bottom panels of the box. Typography was chosen to reflect the handcrafted nature of the product.Each product features a unique name and description on front of pack that speaks to the playful nature of the brand. Take for instance, The Wild Oat: A Very Adult Oatmeal Raisin. A Luscious oatmeal cookie with voluptuous raisins, a slap of aromatic spices and a kiss of Bali Rama sea salt. Napkin optional. Or perhaps you’d prefer, The OMGCB: Holy Mother of Brownie. A sweet assault of decadent chocolate brownie with rivers of handcrafted caramel and French sea salt. Damn!“We’re thrilled to have packaging that now truly reflects the heart and soul of our brand and all the love that goes into each cookie and brownie we bake,” said Alexandra Joseph Rabbani, Executive Chef, Salt of the Earth Bakery.

To do this, iris put Leo in a custom-made suit and hood, with hundreds of individual LED’s sewn by hand in to adidas TechFit gear.

Kollor Design Agency: Griab branding, visual identity and web design

Brand: GriabTitle(s): Branding, visual identity, web designAgency: Kollor Design Agency, Helsingborg, SwedenAgency website: http://www.kollor.comCreative Director: Erik TencerArt Directors: Erik Tencer and Håkan PerssonWeb Designer: Håkan PerssonGraphic Designer: Eduardo MateosCopywriter: Ragnar FalckPhotographer: Calle-Mange Johansson and Eduardo MateosPublished: May 2013Short rationale (optional):Griab is a Swedish engineering firm, founded in 1957 and located in Helsingborg, Sweden, that specialises in delivering a holistic design and build service that includes land planning, wastewater management, architecture and construction.Developed by multidisciplinary design agency Kollor, Griab’s visual identity, “inspired by the the straight lines and shapes commonly seen in architecture” and created to help reinforce the firm’s environmental profile, includes a new logotype, stationery and website based around a sans-serif logotype, monospace typeface, grids, guides and a fluorescent green print treatment.

Taxi Studio: The Black Grouse, Alpha Edition packaging

Brand: The Black Grouse, Alpha Edition Title(s): Alpha EditionAgency: Taxi Studio, Bristol, UK Agency Website: http://www.taxistudio.co.ukCreative Director: Spencer Buck Design Director: Jonathan Turner-RogersCopywriter: Lindsay CampIllustrator: Graham Evernden, Sam HadleyAdditional Credits: Senior Designer: Pete HawkinsPublished: August 2013Short Rationale (optional): Situation: The Alpha Edition is a premium expression of the legendary Black Grouse. However, the existing design didn’t communicate the product’s richer, smokier flavour. And the way the bird was visually portrayed on pack (aside from failing to promote the product’s alpha status) was inconsistent with the rest of the portfolio. Solution: Once upon a year… black grouse gather to establish who’s the biggest show-off in a ritual known as the ‘Lek’. We dramatised this event on pack by placing large embossed letters on each side of the carton. Each letter starts a story that neatly relates to both the ritual and the whisky. And (this is the bit where we show-off), when placed side by side, the Black Grouse Alpha Edition asserts its position in the category’s pecking order.

It was also vital that both the design and the campaign communicate the chewy experience and flavour hit.

Anthem UK: Forever Ink 'Tattoo Guardian' campaign

Brand: Forever InkTitle(s): Tattoo GuardianHeadline and copy text (in English): Anthem takes revolutionary brand Forever Ink from niche to massAgency: Anthem, London, UKAgency website: http://www.anthemww.com/Creative Director: Mark RingerArt Director: Andrew CharlesCopywriter: Mark RingerTypographer: Andrew CharlesPhotographer: Mike WhelanPublished: August 2013Short rationale (optional): Anthem launched Forever Ink’s new packaging in late 2012.

ButterflyCannon: RedLeg Rum packaging design

Brand: RedLeg RumTitle(s): Packaging designAgency: ButterflyCannon, London, UKAgency Website: http://butterflycannon.comCreative Director: Jon DaviesAdditional Credits: Designer: Pati ZywertPublished: August 2013Short Rationale (optional): Premium brand design agency ButterflyCannon have created the brand identity and pack design for RedLeg, an authentic Caribbean spiced rum infused with Jamaican vanilla, ginger and spices. RedLeg’s design captures the brand’s laid back Caribbean spirit; casual, chilled and totally Irie. An attitude shared by the brand’s friendly little symbol - the red legged hermit crab - a native of the glorious Caribbean coral reef whose scarlet legs protrude from its tiny shell and appear to have caught a little too much sun. A likeness that didn’t go unnoticed when the pale, rum loving, immigrants arrived from Scotland in the 17th Century and suffered from the same sun burn issues, their descendants still known today as the Red Legs. “We feel that ButterflyCannon interpreted our brief perfectly. We’re delighted with the end result; the packaging design alone has led to bar listings!” Don Goulding, CEO Blavod Drinks.The design has also already won a silver medal in the 2013 San Francisco Spirit Awards.

Ehrenstråhle & Wågnert : Femme Boost brand identity

Brand: Femme BoostTitle: Femme Natural BoostAgency: Ehrenstråhle & Wågnert (Ehrenstrahle & Wagnert), Stockholm, SwedenAgency website: www.e-w.seArt Director: Martin Wågnert and David EhrenstråhleCopyrighter: Susanne HolmsäterIllustrator: David EhrenstråhlePhotographer: Jesper FlorbrandtAdditional Credits: Planner: Johan RudeShort Rationale (optional): Femme Natural Boost is an energy drink that turns to a female audience that, in the current situation, have no alternative available in a product category in which communication signals mostly extreme sports, masculinity and testosterone. The challenge was therefore to develop a package that attracts the audience without, for that matter, alluding to the old image of what is feminine. Femininity and independence were the key words in the creation of Femme’s brand, which included a complete graphic profile and packaging design. In terms of branding we wanted to express attitude and self- confidence with the female at the heart of it, which sets Femme apart from other competitors in the energy drink market. By working with a saturated yet distinctive colour along with hand-drawn typeface, the can got an expression that was feminine without being perceived as cliché-like.
