Bladnoch’s Distillery dates back to 1817 and is one of the oldest Single Malt Scotch Whisky producers in Scotland.

As part of the new renovation of the Bladnoch brand and distillery we were acutely aware of referencing both the rich history and the bold new future. At the forefront of our thinking was capturing a distinctive personality and creating iconic brand elements both in bottle shape, brand mark and the distinctive metallic closure.

For a distillery with a rich 200 year history, Bladnoch is enjoying a bold, powerful and exciting revival.

Today, when people think yoghurt they imagine lifestyle brands and unique flavours. Back in 2010 when we first met with David (Founder of Five:am), things were very different…. and far more vanilla.

The initial brief was….create something unique. Luckily we had three great assets - amazing organic yoghurt, a great name: “Five:am” and a strong brand essence “Enjoy a Five:am moment. Time to Pause… and create the day ahead.”

What is the Five:am moment? For the farmers who milk the cows it was 5am. This formed the core of our thinking. We wanted to capture elements of the farm and the simple freshness and ingredients. The wooden background represented the milking shed and farm fence posts with fresh grass as a natural base to add freshness and the natural tone.

The brand mark with its angled type and radiating bands symbolises the "wake up” moment. This could be at sunrise or at the breakfast table… when you pause and create the day ahead…. another Five:am moment.

The brand quickly grew as multiple new flavours and sizes joined the Five:am family.

“2XP® is for people who set the pace and lead the pack. Who push, punish and play. People with passion, who strive for perfection, who believe in possibilities and participate with purpose.”

The brief, create a unique brand and packaging solution for a new high performance sunscreen range. The goal, challenge the market perception with innovative naming, form and function.
Naming convention came first as we landed on the concept XP which represented "eXtra Protection" and "eXtreme Performance” eventually forming 2XP® .
When designing the dynamic bottle shapes we began with the idea of utilising multifaceted forms to create an upright rigid tube. The slimline cap at the base formed the initial building block with alternating angled sides becoming our theme, adding both dynamic form and highly functional utility. We paired this with simple, punchy typographic communications and a vibrant colour palette emphasising vitality and energy. 

For you, whoever you may be.

ISOOSI is a startup skincare brand based in Melbourne, Australia. pH balancing skincare for you, whoever you may be.

We were involved in the brand from conception to the final rollout, working across brand strategy, packaging and brand design, digital marketing, social media content creation/management and photoshoot art direction.

The final concepts focusses on the idea of balance - balanced skin equals healthy skin. Using this as the inspiration for the design, the pack uses circles to illustrate balance, as well as playing off the OO in the brand name.

We were approached to develop a strategy on the aromatherapy brand  "In Essence”.

Rather than using the traditional ingredients focus, it was decided that we reposition the new range based on solutions and outcomes. When developing the naming we wanted to retain a connection to the mother brand "In Essence” (hence the use of the I and E). Secondly IE is an abbreviation to a simplified dialogue and narrative which explained the intended use of each blend…… i.e. meaning “in other words”. Utilising a minimal modern approach, our goal was to differentiate from more traditional looking aromatherapy brands on the market. Balancing white space, typography and fresh pop colour to clearly communicate product type and usage. The use of a predominantly white face signifies simplicity, peace and calm; and the simple typographic application is informative, transparent and helpful. The colour palette assists the consumer to easily navigate through the range, and also seeks to engage the younger audience with a burgeoning interest in natural therapies. The blends range serves as a convenient introduction into the aromatherapy market.

Natural, sustainable, cold-pressed, local and delicious juices.

Whether you want to get involved in sport, represent the University at the UniSport Nationals, join the gym, stay fit or have fun and meet new people on campus – VU Sport is the body that facilitates all things sport…. and much more.

Balancing dynamics and stability, the logo and application was designed as a unique identity for VU sport (part of Victoria University). Having both an internal and external profile it was important be a stand-alone mark while still having a symbiotic relationship with the Victoria University identity. A strong use of Victoria University’s corporate blue combined with the angular shapes provided a clear differentiation while uniting the overall design theme.

ecoLEAF™ vegetables are unlike any you have tried before…. grown using a state-of-the-art hydroponic method developed in Japan.

Nature’s Gift was a small family business operating in the highly competitive pet food marketplace. Our brief was to totally rethink the brand, positioning and personality.

After a few workshops it quickly became clear we should create a down to earth, family personality for the brand given the home-grown, natural quality of the product. Beginning with the dog tag, chalkboard, hessian texture and handwritten typography, the brand quickly evolved. Simple, dynamic and modular elements enabled easy product extension while the green hessian provides great brand blocking. Growth and line extensions quickly helped the brand grow from strength to strength, enabling it to become a major player in the category.
