Should point out, that without the perfect circles the grapes might not be as obvious, so I guess theres a reason behind it.

And forgot to mention the koala, I think it would look quite cheap and not nearly as nice on shelf, but I looove the simple design of it
and how the white space works with the brandmark.

Wasn’t overly fussed on the mamont, it reminds me too much of hair products (shampoo and conditioner).
The last picture of the single malt looks very small?
Anyone know the size of it? is it just deceptive or is it a rather small, possibly sample bottle?

I did like the absolut but I’ve always been a fan of simple design.

Favourite was the pink, but the splatters look a little too fake. i think id prefer it if the splatters had more variation and werent all so ‘perfect circle’.
Im like that with most splatter-esque designs though.

I didn’t, Carolyn. Glad you like the feature, though.

WOW I came to this site after seeing a photo of the Mad Fish label and love the VSOP one too! I wonder how much extra it costs to get that label wrapped around the bottle instead of just smacked on the front? Very cool and inspiring. Did you partake in designing any?

I love the Cognac packaging, very effective in presenting a clean packaging in a different approach to convey elegance. I also quite like the second, howling monkey. Very eye catching and original which I believe will do well in the market.

Awesome packaging examples. I really like the spiral label as well as the screened wine label. Another wine, Root:1, was actually the inspiration for my Branding class winery label. Naturally I am redoing it now to put in my child… er I mean portfolio (they really are like having a kid, aren’t they?)

@Kiren: I definitely agree. It is an awesome concept and even without the typical Absolut screen printing, I immediately could tell it was an Absolut product.

I love the Mamont – a little different from the norm.

No worries, Chad, Akash.

Davin, thanks for pitching in. I’ve learned a thing or two about whiskey since compiling this post, even if I don’t like it as a drink.

They’ll not be as sweet on the shelves, Abbas. I’m with you there.

The VSOP Cognac labelling is really, really good. The concept behind the Seriously Pink labelling is also quite eyecatching.

I must admit though, a little bit of lighting and touching up in Photoshop can make anything look half-decent. I suspect on a shelf in the local Morrisons most of these bottles won’t look anywhere impressive. The Absolut concept will just look naff.
