Tallo’s Label Features A Juicy Typography System

Based in Argentina, Tallo is a cold juice brand focused on creating an environment that balances a sense of humor with a healthy mindset. The brand’s packaging is designed by Mauricio Gallegos and PAZ MIAMOR, with a rounded typography system at the core of the design. There’s a clear fruit influence behind the design, and while the typography takes a maximalist approach, the layout is simple, creating a balanced, cultivated design.

The colours of these juices are vibrant and pastel at the same time, so we chose to use a free colour palette to create a fun environment with many possibilities and combinations. In addition to a bold geometric display logo, small line illustrations are also used in the label to represent fruits and vegetables, referencing kids’ drawings, especially Feli and Juani.

Cacao Chocolate’s New Packaging System Introduces A New, Vibrant Ideology

New Packaging For German Wine Brand Blue Nun

For German wine brand Blue Nun’s 100th anniversary, Pentagram partner Paula Scher created a new packaging system that redefines the brand’s Blue Nun mascot. 

The oversized, blushing nun takes over the outer box and is also featured on the wine labels. The skinny, delicate typeface allows the new character to become the lead element, leaning into a visual approach. The first iteration of the new bottle design features a “100” that appears on the labels but will be removed after the anniversary celebration. 

The original label image depicted 18th century nuns picking grapes in a vineyard, but for the anniversary, the design team wanted to capture the lively, indulgent spirit of the Roaring Twenties decade that birthed the brand, so they opted to give the nun a complete makeover. The new label features a saucy, glamorous portrait of a blushing nun inspired by the French 20th century designer and Art Deco artist Erté. 

Hong Kong food destination Basehall

Since opening in 2020, Basehall has become a hotspot for hungry Hong Kong residents and visitors. So much so that parent company, HongKongLand Properties, recently unveiled a second, larger site in the same building which brings together 13 independent food and drink concepts.

To coincide with its opening, London-based studio Otherway was tasked with rethinking what an East Asian food hall could look like and positioning Basehall as a cultural destination.

The new branding is inspired by Hong Kong’s visual history, featuring a dynamic logo that nods to the city’s ubiquitous street signs and is described by Otherway’s founder.

The design language is built on a grid system which visualises the various layers coming together to create a tapestry, with each restaurant given a unique identity that pays homage to a signature dish or the owners themselves.

Otherway commissioned five illustrators to bring all the individual identities to life. “We wanted to create an area where every vendor had an equal chance of standing out compared to more established food brands. From 60-year-old roast goose shops, to brand new Michelin starred experiences,” says the studio.

Ad campaign tackles everyday gender bias

We might think that we have moved beyond the stereotypes associated with certain careers – for example, that a CEO would be a man, and a nurse a woman – but research conducted by CPB, the ad agency behind the Imagine campaign, shows otherwise.

The Imagine poster campaign, which is supported by Creative Equals, Goodstuff, Assembly and Open Media, is running across the UK on social, OOH and in cinemas. It is accompanied by a colouring book, which can be bought from cpblondon.com (with monies raised going to Beyond Equality and Young Women’s Trust), which encourages parents to talk to their children about gender roles.

The signage is designed to “capture the spirit of play and bring a little bit of joy to the neighbourhood,” according to Fieldwork Facility founder Robin Howie.

Howie says the wayfinding project is designed to echo the net zero pledges of the new London development – which is being led by Barnet Council and UK developer Argent Related, and is designated a Park Town for Future London.

A series of snake-like yellow signs show cyclists and walkers how many minutes are left in their journey, and appear wrapped around lamp posts and growing out of curb-side grass.

“Good, at least in terms of wayfinding, is directing visitors to the development successfully, but great looks like putting a playful little smile on someone’s face or encouraging someone to walk with more of a spring in their step,” says Howie. Quite right too.
