This is the design that BBDK created for an independent beverage company that makes 100% natural carbonated juices. They re-branded the beverage as ‘100%’ and printed the numbers very large on the bottles label. Very nice!

Jones Soda: Orange “You Glad For Change” soda
February 2, 2009 @ 11:57 pm
A couple of weeks ago, Jones Soda introduced a special inauguration-edition soda to celebrate the swearing in of Barack Obama. The soda, an orange-flavored beverage called Orange You Glad For Change, is only available for a limited time at select retailers and on select college campuses.
A 6-pack of these will go for $14.99 and a 12-pack for $23.99.
Given the success of the previous Barack Obama beverage from The Jones Soda Co. (called “Barack Obama’s Yes We Can Soda”) which completely sold out after the election, you can bet that these orange-flavored bottles will also go quickly now that Obama is the President.
Heinz Ketchup gets rid of the pickle
January 26, 2009 @ 10:58 am
Heinz announced this month that they were updating the look of their ketchup labels to more accurately reflect the type of sauce that is inside. For about 110 years, the Heinz Ketchup label has sported a green pickle (old label seen above). But how did that green gherkin pickle get there? The Heinz press release has an explanation:
It began in 1893 when H. J. Heinz decided to use a “pickle pin” to attract attention to his booth at the Chicago World’s Fair, the nation’s largest food show and exposition at that time. The pins were so popular that attendees were lining up to get one. A simple marketing gimmick became part of the history of America’s most iconic ketchup brand.
Throughout the years, the pickle proudly adorned each bottle of Heinz Ketchup. Even still – that little pickle, over time, faded into the background in consumers’ minds.
As you can see below, the new labels will feature a tomato on a vine with the words “Grown Not Made” to emphasize the importance of good ingredients in their ketchup sauce. Most consumers will probably not even notice the subtle change which makes this new label redesign a good one. Right on, Heinz!
Brand by Jesse Kirsch
January 2, 2009 @ 2:31 am
The Brand packaging designed here by Jesse Kirsch, a graduate of the School of Visual Arts, reminds me a lot of the Home Brand packaging from Safeway. I mean that not so much in the way that it looks comparatively, but more based on the fact that both use bold and very contrasty type and colors to maximize the generic name of each product. I really wish everything was so clearly labeled sometimes.
Cheeseburger in a can: bought, cooked, and eaten!
February 1, 2008 @ 10:54 am
THIS IS SO AWESOME. One curious individual over at the Something Awful forums has gone and bought himself a cheeseburger in a can. Just the other day, I posted about the German website that was selling the cheeseburger in a can for about $6. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, but now here’s proof in pictures.
Yes, it is real! And yes, he cooked it and ate it! From the photos, it actually looks like a pretty good burger (especially one that comes from a CAN).
It turns out that the burger can be heated in the can in boiling water or out of the can on a pan. And if you’re out in the wilderness and you don’t have access to fire, you can just eat the burger cold because it’s pre-cooked.
Anyway, the photos are definitely worth taking a look at. So peep them inside!
