Oswald's Gin Distillery | Branding Concept + Recipes
CONCEPT:
A series of bottles, and of course corresponding cocktails, we designed using original artworks and clear simple typography.
Each gin features a range of Australian native botanicals whose flavour profile is reflective of each location. The packaging is artistic, adventurous and playful. The series of illustrations were designed to take drinkers on a journey by catering the colours and feel of each location.
The distillery's logo placed high and proud on the bottle, is reminiscent of a wax star, acting as a mark of quality. A bespoke word make, featuring an illustration of a camper van exemplifies the adventurous flavour and location influences of the gin. It was also important that the story of the gin's creation was placed on the front of each bottle to further romanticise the brand.
The finishing touch is a clean coloured coded modular system to help navigation through the range.
