The client and project overview:
Legend Distilling came to us with a fresh idea to open a craft-based distillery in the heart of Naramata wine country in BC. They wanted to offer something different to the wine tour market and believed that the BC distillery industry needed something new and fresh. We worked with them to create a strategy for their initial product releases and a framework for future additions to the Legend family. We also focussed on taking strong product and lifestyle photos and created supporting print and website design to drive sales in the tasting room and distribution channels.

The design and creative solution:
The strategy was simple, we can’t design another ‘me too’ product, Legend was sick of seeing the same traditional designs on the shelves – they wanted something that offered the market something new and unexpected. With ‘Stories worth Sharing’ as our central creative concept, AKA developed the overall brand as well as product names and packaging that leveraged local BC legends and worked with a local tattoo artist to create custom illustrations to bring the legends to life on the bottles. We wanted every detail to be considered, from container selection, non-traditional colour selections and print finishings to create something that stands out from the crowd.

Look for more exciting product releases and new packaging from Legend Distilling coming out in 2014.
