Brand: Coca-ColaTitle(s): Coca-Cola MusicAgency: Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the NetherlandsAgency website: http://www.wk.comExecutive Creative Director: Mark Bernath, Eric QuennoyCreative Director: Edu PouCreative/Design Director: Joesph Burrin Photographer: Chad MooreAdditional Credits: Designer: Philip CronerudPlanner: Amanda FeveGroup Account Director: Andrew Kay, Kirk JohnsenAccount Manager: Alex AlcottArt Buyer: Kristina WilmarApplication Programmer: Jesus GollonetRetoucher: Loupe ImagingPublished: July 2013Short Rationale(optional): The Coca-Cola Company has engaged Widen+Kennedy Amsterdam to create the brand identity for teen-focused platform Coca-Cola Music. Coca-Cola tasked the agency with designing a visual identity consistent with the tone of voice used for the brand’s global music programmes. As a result Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam has created an identity which can, when needed, reinvent itself to serve a multitude of Coca-Cola Music events and programmes across different markets. At the core of the project is the Dynamic Logo Creator, a reactive application developed to create dynamic sound signatures. Built around the iconic Coca-Cola bottle the app generates bubbles emanating from the bottle like soundwaves, the unique sound signatures can then be generated from any music track to create limitless versions of the identity.

P576: Grazia branding, visual identity, packaging

Brand: GraziaTitle(s): Branding, visual identity, packagingAgency: P576, Bogotá, ColombiaAgency website: http://www.p576.comCreative Director: Arutza Rico OnzagaArt Director: María SilvaPhotographer: Max Morales, Ugo PasalacuaAdditional Credits: Max Morales, Ugo PasalacuaPublished: February 2013Short Rationale (optional): Grazia is an eatery in Bogotá, Colombia where lovers of food can buy refined sweets and savory delicacies. The challenge of this project was to create a visual language that honors the beauty and perfection of the food. Design firm p576 began with a graphic investigation of the ingredient forms, which were later developed into a series of patterns for use on all the packaging pieces. “We visited the local market with the chefs, picked some vegetables and fruits, and then went to their house to cut and to photograph the food,” said Art Director Arutza Rico Onzaga. “Claudia and Raphael prepared a big delicious lunch with the crew! To reinforce the concept of perfection,” Onzaga added, “we proposed a second brand element: lines that show the spatial structure of the objects and registers the logo position.” These elements, along with the simplified typography, define the brand’s sophisticated and modern style.

BOS:Design: Hotpoint small domestic appliances packaging

Brand: Hotpoint Ariston Title(s): Hotpoint small domestic appliances packagingAgency: BOS:Design Ltd, Cheltenham, UKAgency Website: http://www.brandonshelf.comCreative Director: Andy Willingham Illustrator: Shadowplay Photogapher: Shooting Food, Michael DannenburgAdditional Credits: Designers: Andy Willingham, Emma SunderlandRetouching and creative art-working: Debbie BarrettPublished: July 2013Short Rationale (optional): Indesit are famous for their large domestic appliance products and recognised an opportunity in Small Domestic Appliances (SDAs). Having won a design effectiveness award for their work on Kenwood, BOS:Design were the clear choice to launch this large range of SDAs for a company with no previous experience in the SDA market. The packaging needed to work equally well in Russia, Italy, Turkey and the UK, communicate the features and benefits of the products in a ‘non-lingual’ way and work consistently well across breakfast, food preparation and home products. In line with the Indesit values of HD performance and styling the focus of the SDA packaging is on elegant product imagery. Packs within this category can be cluttered with claims and graphic devices, so we adopted a clean graphic approach. The strong use of black sets this range apart from its competitors as confident and refined.

Rice Creative: Cointreau Limited Edition Pack

Brand: CointreauTitle(s): Cointreau Limited Edition PackAgency: Rice Creative, Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamAgency Website: http://www.rice-creative.comCreative Director: Chi-An De Leo, Joshua BreidenbachPhotographer: Wing ChanAdditional Credits: Designers: Van Nguyen, Nguyen Huynh, Truc DinhShort Rationale (optional): Cointreau approached us to create a limited edition pack for them. This pack was to help them communicate one of their most successful cocktails, by including a shaker with the bottle, and some simple instructions. This cocktail was to be made interesting to a female audience. This package also lined up with the Tet holiday in Vietnam, and Cointreau requested we consider this in the design. To communicate Tet, we developed a Tet inspired pattern to literally line the inside of a feminine handbag-like pack. We felt this solution effectively communicated a feminine touch to the Tet holiday. Being greatly inspired by Cointreau's heritage, we developed classic look for the devices which contained the messaging. Cheers.

gürtlerbachmann: Görtz shoelaces

Brand: GörtzTitle(s): Simple shoelacesAgency: gürtlerbachmann GmbH, Hamburg, GermanyAgency Website: http://www.guertlerbachmann.com Creative Director: Uli GürtlerArt Director: Merle SchröderIllustrator: Merle SchröderAdditional Credits: Project Manager: Anne KukereitShort Rationale (optional): The colourful Görtz world of birds presents itself in all the Görtz sales areas set up for children’s shoes. Simple shoelaces were transformed into colourful small worms in the beaks of five lovingly designed bird characters, which served as eye-catching packaging. They show different native types of birds that invite to play and collect. The aim, with the help of the packaging as part of the campaign, was to increase customer frequency in the Görtz sales areas for children’s shoes and, at the same time, to win customers for the Görtz store card.

Jane Says: Café Collection Bars packaging design

Brand: DV ARTISIAN CHOCOLATETitle(s): Café Collection BarsAgency: Jane Says, Cape Town, South AfricaAgency website: www.janesays.co.zaCreative Director: Victoria Jane PeterDesigner: Victoria Jane Peter Illustrator: Victoria Jane PeterShort rationale (optional): The De Villiers family uses traditional chocolate-making techniques to create their artisanal ‘Bean to Bar’ range. An exclusive range sold only from their coffee/chocolate café, the bars are produced in small batches using the De Villiers’ signature attention to detail and focus on quality. Wanting to communicate both the old-fashioned production methods and the loving devotion to craft that the De Villiers’ bring to their chocolates, we used typical 1920s art nouveau posters as inspiration for our packaging concept. These beautiful, labour-intensive posters are synonymous with craftsmanship, skill and artistry – and perfectly mirror the meticulous detail-driven approach to chocolate that the De Villiers brand embodies. Each chocolate bar in the range was designed as an individual ‘mini poster’ using distinctive and elaborately crafted typography, illustration and colour. The spine on each bar was uniquely designed so that when stacked, they would resemble books. Each bar has a stand-alone concept designed around ideas and inspirations associated with its individual flavour or the way in which it is made. For example, the Fleur de Sal bar, which is made using sea salt, depicts the flamingos that feed in the saltpans, and uses the pink of the birds as inspiration for the colouring. Though each bar has been individually designed, the structure remains the same throughout the range: a chocolate-specific illustration combined with beautiful typography on the front, elaborate book-like spines on the side, and a uniquely designed explanation of each bar’s concept on the back. The result is a cohesive, visually engaging chocolate range that showcases the values of this artisanal brand and the care that goes into every aspect of its creation.
