ButterflyCannon: Glenmorangie 1963

Brand: Glenmorangie 1963Headline and copy text (in English): ButterflyCannon’s Glenmorangie Design Takes us Back to 1963Agency: ButterflyCannon, London, UKAgency website: http://www.butterflycannon.comCreative Director: Jon DaviesPublished: December 2013Short rationale (optional): Glenmorangie have re-released just 50 bottles of Glenmorangie1963, a whisky distilled 50 years ago and then bottled in 1987 at 23 Years old. Matured and then extra-matured between 1963 and 1987, this whisky is a celebration of the year it was distilled. Design agency ButterflyCannon has redesigned the bottles to be reminiscent of the time period using the original shape from 1963, with the striking addition of an engraved silver label and cap.The bottles are encased in a ‘Time Capsule’, a leather-strapped wood and metal box, celebrating the historic nature of this rare and precious whisky. Inside the protective case, there is a numbered booklet hand-signed by Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling and Whisky Stocks, containing information about this famous 1963 whisky and the year it was created. Mike Atkinson, Marketing Manager at Glenmorangie says: ‘In addition to the rarity of the whisky, it is also the earliest known commercial bottling of a whisky that has been ‘wood finished’. We wanted to create packaging that celebrated such an important and historic moment in Glenmorangie history. ButterflyCannon created the time capsule concept, capturing this special moment in time’.

BrandOpus: Su-Man Skincare retail branding

Brand: Su-Man SkincareTitle(s): BrandOpus creates retail brand for celebrity facialist Su Man HsuHeadline and copy text (in English): BrandOpus, a global strategic brand design agency, unveils a consumer-facing retail brand created for Su-Man Hsu, celebrity facialist. The brand creation project spans identity, packaging and digital design.Agency: BrandOpus, London, UKAgency website: http://www.brandopus.comCreative Director: Paul TaylorDesign Director: Claire MarshallAdditional credits: Account Director: Lisa PiresAccount Manager: Ali DawkinsPublished: December 2013Short rationale (optional): Su-Man’s particular approach to skincare has gathered celebrity notoriety, with her facials sought after by high-profile celebrity clients such as Juliet Binoche, Anne Hathaway and Joely Richardson. Su-Man personally hand-blends the products she uses during her facial treatments, and over time, client requests for these products led to the creation of the Su-Man retail brand, developed in partnership with BrandOpus. Reflective of Su-Man’s journey and unique facial style, BrandOpus created the Su-Man Skincare brand focusing on the importance of the flow of energy and the strive for balance. The clean and simple style of the brand overall resonates with Su-Man’s direct approach. The logo incorporates the initial of Su-Man’s name, and portrays it in a brushstroke style, reflective of the Ensō style of calligraphy historically used in Buddhist art. The flowing style of the ‘S’ device is representative of the flow of energy, central to her facial massage technique. A bespoke, fluid word mark was developed in a mulberry tone, echoing the Dragon’s Blood extract, a key ingredient in the range.Su-Man uses a 36-stroke massage, combining six repetitions of six different movements. This is based around the ancient Chinese philosophy, which states the universe is made up of 6 dimensions: heaven, earth, north, south, east and west. References to the number six also loom large in the design of the retail range, which originates with six products to begin her journey in the retail market. Su-Man Skincare is available now from www.su-man.com, and launches into QVC and Cult Beauty in January 2014.

mousegraphics: Domaine Spyropoulos 'THE GUARDIANS' packaging and identity

Brand: Domaine SpyropoulosTitle(s): THE GUARDIANSHeadline and copy text (in English): THE GUARDIANSTo serve and protect the secrets of good wine-makingAgency: mousegraphics, Athens, GreeceAgency website: http://www.mousegraphics.grCreative Director: Greg TsaknakisArt Director: Greg TsaknakisCopywriter: Nadja ArgyropoulouIllustrator: Ioanna PapaioannouPhotographer: Tassos Vrettos (Vrettos Studio)Artist: Vassilis KaroukPublished: December 2013Short Rationale (optional): "We have a new line of wines which we would like to brand in an interesting way". Τhe target consumer: Foreign and local wine drinkers; they value the taste of design in the everyday. The design: The client gave us freedom to think in any possible direction in order to create not just an interesting but -if possible- a unique idea. This is an old family of prestigious winemakers with close ties to the land, the vineyards and even the unique buildings situated since the 19th c. in historic buildings, at the areas of Mantinea and Nemea in the Peloponnese. Updated with organic farming methods, the company's activity aims to produce high quality grapes and wines while protecting the ecosystem and the environment. All the above inspired a design based on the age old figure of the vineyard guardian: the scarecrow. An item of folk art, of basic necessity and common practice, the scarecrow has been the object of fascination by artists and village people alike. Festivals are organized around the world to celebrate the imagination and ingenuity involved in its making. Mousegraphics commissioned V. Karouk, a well-known Greek artist to draw and then construct three different life-size scarecrows to represent the white, red and rose labels. They were then photographed by T. Vrettos a fashion and art photographer, with equal care. The brand name "The Guardians" is accompanied on the packaging by the small phrase: "to serve and protect the secrets of good wine-making", and this summarizes our concept and its references.

Marx Design: StrangeLove promotional gift packaging

Brand: StrangeLove Title(s): Promotional Gift Packaging Agency: Marx Design, Auckland, New ZealandAgency website: http://www.marxdesign.co.nzCreative Director: Ryan MarxIllustrator: Randy MoraShort rationale (optional): Marx Design was asked to create a promotional gift pack for StrangeLove, a new organic energy elixir. The brief was to create something strange yet lovely, in the hope that bar and café owners would display it at point-of-sale.Moving away from traditional energy drink marketing (think starbursts and garish colours), StrangeLove adopted the approach that: “Most energy drinks make you look like you’ve been kissing your cousin under the bleachers at the Parramatta Speedway. They scream premium but relentlessly hum Bon Jovi songs under their breath. Our packaging philosophy is simple – make something that people want to show their friends”.Buoyed by this fresh approach, we wanted the design to feel eclectic and intriguing, like something you would find in an old encyclopedia or Ripley’s Believe It or Not. The design is a combination of strange and love – when the two subjects are brought together visually the design reflects this.The imagery and illustration is quite dark and the copywriting is very funny. The whole design is a series of contrasting opposites, for example, a harsh nearly gothic typeface and then a friendly sans serif; an accident skull and a beautiful French actress.The StrangeLove gift pack consisted of one bottle of StrangeLove ginger beer, one bottle opener complete with love heart and rat, metal straws, a cocktail straw, promotional cards about the product and a deck of illustrated playing cards illustrated by Colombian collage artist Randy Mora. The result is indeed strange but lovely.

The type (Grotesque 229 for the type nerds out there) was letterpress printed in the Case Room at Glasgow School of Art with the kind assistance of artist in residence and typography technician Edwin Pickstone.”Printed with gold and black ink, the wall planner folds down to A4 and comes in a gold, matt foil envelope. There are three columns of notes at the top and each day has space to write stuff. Dimensions 890mm wide x 630mm deep.
