Catherine Roux, Boutique Cheers, client

“In an ever-growing crowded craft beer market, we wanted to achieve real visual impact both online and on shelves. We opted for a simple but creative design that really stands out at a glance and accommodates multiple small-batch releases by online beer store Boutique Cheers each month.”

Petite eau Vodka

Paprika, design firm

Distillerie Grand Dérangement, client

“After the launch of SAGA Grand Gin, Distillerie Grand Dérangement launched Petite Eau Vodka, the first organic vodka made in Québec. Its name is inspired by the origin of the Slavic word vodka, which translates to ‘little water.’ The traditional water crafts are symbolized by the miller, the water carrier and the dowser; their faces are veiled by a royal blue stream stretching from one bottle to the next.”

Danke's Easter: from our family to yours

Nata Design, design firm

Ernesto Neugebauer, Danke, client

“Chocolate brand Danke has been a family business since 1892. For its Easter packaging, we drew inspiration from postcards of the late 19th century to honor working families on cacao farms by portraying them as bunnies. Custom vintage-style illustrations combined with golden foil and the brand’s pastel colors tell the brand’s story, values and its commitment to supporting family agriculture and ending child labor.”

Pondejoy

Rahul Bhogal, designer/creative director

Nothing Design Studio, design firm

Pondejoy, client

“Pondejoy, a Boston-based mochi donut company, wanted to create a brand that celebrated Korean culture and tradition that didn’t compromise on craft and brought a sense of joy. On the exterior, the design features an inviting bojagi (traditional Korean wrapping cloth) pattern that creates a distinctive visual code. We chose GT Flexa as the primary font because of its extensive type design, which enables us to create a stretchy, crispy personality—appropriate to the attributes of a mochi donut.”
