Carlsberg Copenhagen



Designed by e-Types, Denmark.

Copenhagen and Carlsberg share their history with entangled destinies. This shared history - geographically located at 56 degrees North latitude - is key to Carlsberg, thus the hommage.

e–Types has designed the 'Copenhagen' logotype and refined the label. The clear space surrounding the minimalist and clean logotype makes it appear even more minimalist – nordic in its essence.

The label text is typed in The Wave

The design for this grapeseed oil for chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten combines a California and French sensibility—a West Coast color palette against a Provencal background motif.

Vaasan



Designed by CB'a, France.

VAASAN, leading firm on the Finnish bakery market has challenged CB’a for its fresh bread category redesign of the Finnish market counting more than 50 products.

The VAASAN Group is one of the most significant operators in Northern Europe. It is the leading company in Finland and the Baltic Region. In order to increase its leadership and better address consumer’s needs, CB’a worked on reorganizing its portfolio, and revamping all packs.

The agency’s objective was to build a new architecture around four different platforms based on a unique concept: “Bakes Finland Favorites”. Four poles were thus identified: two monobrand platforms for VAASAN RUISPALAT, and VAASAN Isoaidin, a “Health & Energy” and a “Variety & Treat” platform.
Besides, VAASAN needed to switch from a portfolio organized by products to a portfolio that better takes into account the consumer benefice and strengthen VAASAN’s equity.

Once the four poles were defined, CB’a worked on the packaging of each brands sometimes only relifting the packs, sometimes creating a full transversal system. VAASAN RUISPALAT was only modernized as it represents 40% of the sales, however VAASAN Isoaidin was completely revamped to convey the brand know-how, homemade spirit and the grandmother’s excellence.
For the other two, CB’a created a graphic system either with wheat head for Health & Energy or played with the logo shape for Variety & Treat.

Casillero Silva



Designed by Daniel Eek, Sweden.

Casillero Silva is a semi opaque wine with a light body and medium acidity.

I wanted to focus on the fruity flavour and give it a bit of a mystery touch. I let the typography be modern that would work well together with the grapes. Instead of dividing the two elements apart I designed it so that the grapes and the type becomes one.

5/19/11 Report - New Salvage Project at Walton Rocks?

Surveying at Walton Rocks This Morning.Beautiful morning. It seems like everyone left Dodge though. Practically nobody at the beach, but there were some guys that seemed to be working on a serious project. Besides the survey equipment, they had a lot of other equipment, including a off road vehicle and were working with the boat you see in the next picture, which placed a buoy out by the second
