DESIGN NAME: Ecgberht of Kent Gin
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Label Design
INSPIRATION: Founded on the historical Hamm’s brewery site, 11 Wells Spirits combines modern craft with local heritage to develop spirits that never run dry. Our challenge was to design a fresh and timeless look for their new American Style Gin made from Minnesota grains. We found inspiration for this design in the old agricultural traditions of Minnesota and the architectural elements of late 19th century.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Inspired by local history and iconic architecture the label design incorporates textures, geometry, and graphic embellishments. Colors were selected to complement the brand and stand out. Architectural influences were combined with organic botanical shapes to reflect the subtleties, detail and craft of the distilling process. A final touch of silver foil and embossing brings a modern shimmer to the bottle pushing the brand credo – Embrace your history. Create your future.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design was inspired by traditional midwestern architecture with art deco motives. The preliminary design stages explored the unity between geometric shapes, symmetry and the organic shapes of the botanicals. After carefully studying those the design team applied the required elements into the bottle grid to determine the size and scale of the label.
CHALLENGE: Design a fresh and timeless look for this new American Style Gin made from Minnesota grains.
