Beverage Bubble Branding

BubblesTop left: Curious D’s  Saint Tropez label (via); top, center: Andreu Zaragoza’ s “Coma” label (via); top, right: Nordic Water’s Foss Water; 2nd row, left: Hunt Adkin’s NutriSoda redesign (via); on right: an earlier version of Dry Soda’s labling; 3rd row: Hansen’s Natural Sparkling Water (via); bottom row: ELO Design’s “Vines Wine” (via)

For carbonated or “sparkling” beverages, it’s often the bubbles that are featured on the label. Usually these bubbles are represented by solid or outlined circles. Two exceptions:

1. Hanson’s sparkling water uses astroids rather than circles. This shape is more often associated with bling-type sparkles, but, here, seems to represent sparkling bubbles at the moment of popping. And by “popping” I mean: emerging from beverage and releasing its gas.

2. The Saint Tropez bottle in the upper left uses foil blocked square bubbles to create a dissipating typography.

    Love the Bud label, seems people would actually use it. Special K, doubtful. TYOTOYS packages its toy trucks in packaging that is meant to be vandalized: http://tyotoys.com/graffiti-trucks/artist/tyo-x-skuf-ykk-box-truck
    The artist series comes pre-tagged by the artist, blank/diys are shipped with just the outline of the truck inside.
    Need more landfill bottle posts!
