Summos is an online platform that gathers together and shares the knowledge of the six best sommeliers of the Netherlands and offers a seasonal subscription service that sends out a selection of some of the country’s best wines once every two months. Sommos worked with graphic design studio Mucho to develop name, brand identity and packaging.
Based around the concept of group and innovation, and clearly informed by the curated nature of Sommos’ content, service and sommeliers, Mucho delivered a name and logotype with a simple corkscrew at its centre, a light and contemporary colour palette and the crafted and personable qualities of brush stroke patterns. This links subscription boxes, business cards, stationery, tags and tissue paper. This project was completed in 2015 but was documented and uploaded to Mucho’s site recently.

The True Honey Company (TTHC) dedicates itself to the production of mānuka honey, a monofloral variety produced in Australia and New Zealand from the nectar of the mānuka tree. It has a unique colour and texture, and a high level of Dietary Methyglyoxal, an organic compound with antibacterial and antiviral properties.
With a price range starting at 60.00AUD and rising to 230.00AUD per jar, and working in a market flooded with sub-standard honey and dishonest marketing, communicating the value of product and the commitment of TTHC to quality and ethical production through an impactful and engaging brand identity and packaging design was paramount. This task was given to Auckland-based graphic design studio and packaging specialists Marx Design who collaborated with Think Packaging and writer Kate Phillips.
