BrewDog End of History beer packaging

Cheeky and innovative, two words that can be used for BrewDog’s limited edition packaging for their (insanely high) 50% proof beer, End of History. 12 bespoke bottles have been produced. According to your preference you could opt for one of seven dead stoats, four grey squirrels or, for those wanting something a little less common, there’s the single hare. All have now sold, even with a rather hefty £700 a bottle price tag.

Funny.

Puma’s S-Index sustainable packaging

The PUMA S-INDEX challenges the company to uphold some serious environmental requirements. “The introduction of the S-Index for all products and packaging is a standard that serves as a production benchmark and communicates the products’ sustainable features to consumers. Consumers are becoming increasingly discerning in their purchasing choices and the PUMA S-Index will provide a seal of assurance. PUMA’s objective for the next phase of its long-term sustainability program is that 50% of its international product collections in footwear, apparel and accessories and 100% of its packaging are S-INDEX approved by 2015.”

Nice.

Petrecoll Cement packaging

Product category breaking packaging by Mouse Graphics in Athens. The brief to the agency was to create a design for Petrocoll that broke radically with its competitors, and thus get the brand much talked about. Fair to say they succeeded.

Pentagram Takes on Cigarettes

An interesting article about how the future of cigarette advertising and branding ‘could’ go, after Obama signs new legislation later this week. Included in the legislation is the requirement of all ads and displays to not use full colour, but instead replace colour with black and white text only.

To make a point, Pentagram of designed 4 Marlboro packs with an eye to the not too distant future.

H&M Basic and Beautiful tights

You may have seen these before, as they are certainly doing the rounds, in no part because they are simply and beautifully designed. Created by the excellent Swedish agency BVD, they are quite surprisingly nearly 9 years old. To see more great work, take a look here.

Koberg Vilt

I think since returning from Rome, where my taste buds were spoiled by the varied and fantastic selection of sausages and cured, my taste radar has been particularly astute.

The above selection by Swedish manufacturer Koberg Vilt, certainly has me wanting to try them. Beautifully packaged also by Stockholm agency Silver.

“Koberg Vilt is traditional Swedish food with a twist. Wild boar salami with chili and deer sausages with Bourgogne wine are just two of the many products made from game living on the Koberg estates. The vivid hunting colors and classic oak leaf patterns make the Koberg product line eye-catching.”

Jacqueline Evans

Really nice, clean and elegant packaging for Australian naturopathic skincare range, Jacqueline Evans. Created by Swear Words. I am in total agreeance with with Mr Carusone over at AisleOne who kindly dropped it into my inbox, that the use of pastel colours is particularly nice, and not something you see very often.

Coke x Justice 09 Bottle

New Coke bottle collaboration with Justice and a Designer called SO-ME, that for the life of me I can’t dig any info up on at the mo. Like the glow in the dark part of it. One bottle, two appearances, nice.
