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?

Denmark-based design agency Scandinavian DesignLab took on the task of creating a branding scheme for Copenhagen-based fashion store PARISTEXAS with a most unusual series of designs that merge bugs with musical instruments.

"The assignment involved creating an identity that breaks with the traditional thinking behind identities and by extension supports a sense of unique, international exclusivity and underground style."

These are seriously a way of creating an identity that breaks the traditional thinking.  Identity and uniqueness comes to my mind when I see the current branding and font selections.  You can read more about it on their website.

Niklas Hessman a packaging designer has come up with a nice and clean design concept for Premium Pringles. He states that he and others feel that Pringles could benefit and standout if they had a premium Pringles product line.  Here is what he said about the outcome of his packaging design;

The product will stand out from the other Pringles but still having the well known tube. Simple and clean packaging design that will work on the scandinavian market for sure. Branding the product with a little poem instead of Photoshop effects.

 If I saw this packaging I would buy it just for that, even if I didn't know what Pringles were.  The minimal design of the product is clean and like Niklas stated a little poem instead of Photoshop effects could make Pringles stand out.  What do you think?

I'm not sure which I like better the packaging for this product or for the cool wood back panels. Monolith the company behind these designs has created three clean elegant wood back panels that come in oak, teak or walnut for the iPhone 4 or 4s. From what I can tell they're complete back panel replacement and I'm only assuming since it will run you $55 bucks for one of these. So if you want to make your high-tech glass and metal iPhone a little bit classier then you can head over to Monolith and pre-order one today.
