Lakuna Design: Scuttlebutt Brewing Company & KEXP 90.3FM Seattle, WA 'KEXP Transistor IPA'

Brand: Scuttlebutt Brewing Company & KEXP 90.3FM Seattle, WA

Title: KEXP Transistor IPA

Agency: Lakuna Design

Agency Website: http://www.lakunadesign.com/

Creative Director: Misi Narcizo

Art Director: Dave Narcizo

Published: September 2015

Short Rationale: "Transistor IPA is a beer created and brewed by Washington’s Scuttlebutt Brewing Company exclusively for Seattle’s KEXP radio station. KEXP is undergoing a large construction project of their new home at Seattle Center. 100% of net proceeds will be donated to the cause.

The label, packaging, and promotion for Transistor IPA were designed by Dave Narcizo, co-founder of Lakuna Design and drummer for Throwing Muses. Narcizo joined Throwing Muses in 1983 and has been an active voice on the rock music scene ever since. The Station felt it appropriate to partner with a musician on the project.

The project duration was only 6 weeks so a quick but thorough audit was conducted—by Lakuna Design—of KEXP’s visual brand history and its audience. The packaging leans on KEXP brand colors and an overall aesthetic prevalent among the Station’s broad inventory of visual messaging. Special attention was paid to including a highly visible identity placement in order to capture in-store attention of KEXP devotees."

Jess Glebe Design: State Steet Honey Identity and Packaging

Brand: State Street Honey

Title: Identity and Packaging

Agency: Jess Glebe Design

Agency Website: www.jessicaglebe.com

Creative Director: Jess Glebe

Art Director: Jess Glebe

Copywriter: Caitlin Riley

Photographer: Jesse Alvarez

Printer: Fey Printing

Paper/Techniques: 60lb. Neenah Estate #9 Laid Cream Label Paper. 1 color black + Gold Foil. Hand Stamped Apiary and Date Bottled.

Published: July 2015

Short Rationale: "Never treated with chemical medications and drawing 100% from their own honeycomb, State Street Honey bees create the purest honey possible. State Street Honey is only minimally filtered, but never heated, and is packed with all the beneficial enzymes and pollen that the majority of store-bought honey lacks. Simply put, it's honest, locally sourced honey.

To capture the divine essence of State Street Honey's brand, a winged beehive was crafted, featuring an illuminant, gold halo. Like the honey it represents, both the logo and the packaging are approachable and sincere—compelling, but never ostentatious."
