Boundless Brand Design was commissioned by client partner and the world’s most awarded Gin, Beefeater, to launch a Lower-ABV spirit drink in Spain, an exciting first for the brand.

Looking to target the surging demand from global consumers for no/low spirits, Beefeater wanted to create a lighter drink experience for those seeking a more balanced lifestyle. Building on the success of the timeless classic, Beefeater London Dry Gin, this new offering has been formulated with the correct amount of alcohol needed to maintain its distinct Beefeater flavour.

This new innovation needed to be a breakthrough in both proposition and design that establishes a new tone and experience for gin drinkers.

Brand led, effective yet simple, the design features the iconic Yeoman Warden standing in front of the Tower of London, preserving authenticity and strong storytelling. Maintaining standout for on trade, the design ensures attention is captured with the bold and prominent Light logotype. Further ensuring distinction, Boundless has used strong colour, creating an iconic and ownable palette for the new Beefeater brand.

In such a rapidly developing category, creating a standout design for the new Beefeater Light was vital to command attention in such a prevalent Spanish market.
