Brando Design Lab

Having successfully rebranded GlueDevil some 10 years ago, Brando has had a happy ongoing relationship with the company since.

When COVID hit us, GlueDevil shifted the focus of a large part of their business to produce quality sanitizing liquids and gels - most being donated to the underprivileged and NPO’s like LIV Village.

Hot on the heels on the liquids and gels came their premium sanitizing aerosol sprays and foggers. Brando was very proud to be a part of the name development, identity and packaging design of these products.

Thank you Shane Nadauld for the opportunity.

Alcoholic beverages again! I think the universe is trying to tell me something😂

This time it’s Vaqua. A sparkling spring water based Vodka RTD. The brief was to design packaging that gives equal recognition to the purity of the vodka and spring water, and the vibrance of the flavour.

We created bright, bold, diamond-shaped graphics to highlight the flavour burst of each of the variants. The rest of the bottle was left largely untouched, and that was our nod to the purity of it.

The brand story we wrote says it best...
“Somewhere between the warm waves of Durban’s sun-kissed coastline and the rich artistic culture of Moscow, Vaqua was born.
Truly South African, but unashamedly inspired by some of Russia’s most famous exports, you’ll find triple distilled premium vodka in Vaqua.
A sparkling spring water based drink that’ll dance on your tongue as a refreshing splash of flavour reveals itself - like a nesting doll - again and again and again.”

Cheers.

Air Team is a HVAC company with a dual focus. One side of the business specializes in Engineering & Maintenance, while the other by side focuses on Project Design, Development & Management. Each side has its own unique identity.

After we completed a successful rebrand for the Projects based business, Air Team asked us to design their brochures.

We designed a template that could be used across both businesses, differentiating them by bold blocks of brand colours, but uniting them through design layout. We then created a “back-to-back” brochure, saving on costs and giving potential clients of either business valuable exposure to the other.

I haven’t given this page a lot of love lately. I’m not proud of this, but some might say I’ve been treating it like a red-headed stepchild😔. A red-headed stepchild with a nappy rash. But you know what’s good for a nappy rash? Le Bebe SPRAY-ON Baby Bum Cream, that’s what.

Your baby’s bum is, well, “as soft as a baby’s bum”. Which means it’s super delicate, and easily irritated by nasty little things like wet nappies.

A fun project I worked on for The Hardy Boys, Le Bebe Baby Bum Cream is the most gentle and hygienic way to prevent or cure a nappy rash, and is designed to disrupt the category on-shelf and appeal to daddies as much as mommies.

So now your little bundle can eat, drink, rock, roll and sleep in total comfort.
