1Special MentionLoch & Union DistillingLoch & Union's namesake was inspired by locations on campus at the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland where their master distiller earned his Master's Degree. Building on this we developed a collegiate inspired crest for the brand's logo. The wrap around labels denote each of the distillery's gins through color and a platinum seal of quality.
1CitationAmerican Fifth SpiritsAmerican Fifth Spirits distill hand-crafted spirits of remarkable quality utilizing local ingredients. Our design solution was inspired by the art deco architecture found throughout Lansing and Michigan. We created an art deco framework foiled in copper foil on the labels combined with a rich color palette.
0AbScent Craft DistilleryAbScent is a conceptual project based on a Birmingham, Alabama based distillery working to produce traditionally made Absinthe in the United States. The design uses Art Nouveau embellishments to represent French tradition mixed with an occult flair as a nod toward the history of the beverage.
1Sonoma Brothers DistillingThe design leverages a turn of the century look to give the brand a genuinely Sonoma craft feel. An illustration of the 2 brothers was incorporated to better communicate the core of the brand story & the craftsmen behind the product. Intricate detailing and gold foil elevate the quality perception and communicates the care that goes into the product itself.
0BackhouseO'Neill Vintners & Distillers asked CF Napa to redesign the Backhouse wine brand to a boutique, artisanal selection to be sold exclusively on-premise primarily for by-the-glass programs. The packaging needed to appeal both to bartenders as well as to consumers looking for a high-quality, credible selection amongst more recognizable national brands.
1Bigsby's Folly WineryThe client asked CF Napa to create the icon and brand packaging for their new urban winery. The inspiration for the name came from their dog Bigsby. We designed the label to harken back to the roaring 20?s, when wine production was made in small batches for speakeasies. Bigsby himself became the icon for the brand.
2Coppercraft DistilleryEvery bottle of Coppercraft Premium Spirits is a tribute to the American Craftsmen. They asked CF Napa to develop their story and packaging that would capture the legacy of their West Michigan tradition: makers & manufacturers; creators & curators; designers & developers. A legacy that embraces hard work and celebrates our community of family and friends.
3TraditionThe client came to CF Napa to redesign their brand packaging to feel more authentic, premium & to capture their winemaking experience. Our solution uses a historic engraving of an eagle sitting atop an ornate framework that encompasses a cluster of grapes. The label utilizes a stock certificate-like design that leverages a vintage date seal and "T" monogram.
2ZiamiFlorida Rum Company came to CF Napa to develop their new Rum brand Ziami. Distilled from Florida-grown Sugarcane, they sought to captivate mixologist and seasoned connoisseurs. The brand needed to be fresh and authentic, while being true to its Florida roots and at home in any Miami Beach nightclub.
2Three Chord BourbonThe client came to CF Napa to design the packaging for their Bourbon that is a blend finished with their trademarked process utilizing tonal vibrations that alter the molecular structure of the bourbon. The black labels are all rock and roll with a guitar pick monogram foil stamped in gold and a framework of flourishes and type that elude to a stage.
