Eliqs, makers of custom and personalized craft beer cans, typically for special events, has made available for sale custom vessels aimed at supporting the fight against COVID-19 while also providing financial support to freelance designers. Proceeds from the sales of the specially designed cans go to the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Fund, and sales featuring designs by contributing freelancers get split between the WHO fund and the artist.
All nine available designs feature recommendations made by experts, such as practicing social distancing, washing hands, or how to recognize symptoms. Besides promoting coronavirus-fighting tips, the labels share little in common visually, reflecting a diverse range of styles, such as Eric Hinkley’s can which found inspiration in early 20th-century morale posters, or Cody Brown’s design mixing patterns and line work with fun type.
