These bottle of juice are not only beautiful, but very clean. Almost a shame to consume the products because the packaging is so elegant with the striking contrast between the black and the different vibrant colors. The clear labels with the black satin is a nice touch as well, with the name and content detail looking like they were printed on the bottles. A little about the company below.

"Owen + Alchemy is a small ‘juice apothecary’ in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, a very trendy and flourishing part of town. The owner, Anne Owen, has a background in fashion publications in Miami and wanted to bring that simple, stark and fashion-forward look to her juice bar. Her name, paired with the alchemic approach of their juice and food concoctions led us to create this brand inspired by old alchemic symbology, with a modern twist."

So what do you think of this branding?

It has been a while since I have written about branding but Branch Creative caught my attention. Their solid color choices with minimal lines and typography kept me focused and interested in what they were displaying.

Here is a little bit about Branch Creative:

Branch Creative is an executive production and advertising house that represents a pool of photographers, illustrators and commercial directors from around the world. We created a sophisticated identity system with a playful typography treatment.

So we all know that Valentines is coming soon, so why not give your man something personal but useful. All men need to shave, well at least most men need to shave.

Harry's which offers a great shave for a fair price has a lineup of products that include: expertly designed handles, their own high-grade German steel blades, and natural shave cream.  The high end of products is the  Engraved Winston ($40) - a sleek, aluminum handle engraved with your initials or whatever you want that you can think of for 3 letters.   You can also setup different types of auto-refills to fit your man shaving needs.  They do offer different options for products, so if this package doesn't work, check out their other offers.

Emily Shaw a California based designer did a great job for her 4th year design course of re-branding the timeless photography company Kodak. Her concept was to focus on the pro side instead of the masses and she was able to give Kodak a fresh, clean, and minimal design. I think she did a great job on keeping the focus but giving it a new look.  Kodak should be hitting her up for her design.  View more of this project on Behance

Beer morning to you all. I came across a beautiful and all around awesome branding and identity work done by Manual for Loveland Aleworks. This independent microbrewery is base in Loveland, Colorado where they brew a selection of classic European and American craft style beers. The design reflects the values of the company and incorporates some local history of Loveland as a gateway to Rocky Mountain Nation park. Tell me what you think of the branding and marketing design.

Timur Salikhov is the branding idealist behind theFire Fighter Vodka branding. I think it's a great concept to make the bottle seem like a new style fire extinguisher, which in my mind they kind of need to make a new style fire extinguisher. The current one is out dated to match that of a modern design.

What I like about this design is the attached shot glass and the stand out choice using a red colored bottle with a polished off top.  What do you think of the design choice?
