There is nothing wrong with a little healthy competition which is the inspiration behind Packaging Design Magazine’s annual Makeover Challenge. Four design firms face off against each other to redesign the packaging for an already established company. For 2011, beverage company Brazil Gourmet was selected to be redesigned. The original packaging design is in the photo below and the four design firms facing off include CIULLA ASSOC, LeeReedy/Xylem, Little Big Brands and Murray Brand.
The old packaging, though not unappealing, definitely lacks cohesion. What CIULLA was able to create in their packaging redesign was consistency. The firm refined the color pallet so each container had the same yellow backsplash with neon accent colors and artwork that mirror the Brazilian flag. The firm also created consistency among the fonts and taglines for an overall appealing design. LeeReedy/Xylem also created a consistent design but through an organic and textured packaging design. I love the colorful prints on the bottles for a traditional Brazilian look. Little Big Brands went for a much more modern design with a bold color pallet and minimalist design. Instead of writing out the company name they have designed a logo using a script “B” and “G.” The logo combined with the unique plastic bottle shape makes for some stand out packaging. Last but not least, Murray Brand designed packaging that is both visually appealing and reflects the Brazilian influence. They designed the bottles with a jungle atmosphere as well as graphics of the fruit flavors to highlight that the beverages are made with all natural fruit juices.
