Vinarija Đurđić is Serbian wine producer with vineyards on the west side of Sremski Karlovci with views of the Danube. Set-up in 2004 the winery is one of the youngest growers in the region. While describing itself as being unburdened by the generational history of many other wine businesses, it has embraced a traditional bench-grafting technique and growers principles that have their origins in early 20th century Italy, something that has secured Vinarija Đurđić both praise and criticism. These themes are brought to life across new wine labels created by Peter Gregson Studio.

StrangeLove is an Australian energy drink creator with a four flavour range made up of Ginger Beer, Blood Orange & Chilli, Smoked Cola and Bitter Grapefruit. Although mass-produced, each variety has been crafted to taste homemade using high quality organic ingredients, and developed in response to other energy drink brands who have failed to live up to their premium positioning. Keen to avoid the visual tropes of the category and secure a witty, eye-catching and original look, Marx Design worked with StrangeLove to improve on the illustrative brand character established by their earlier bottles using simpler compositions, plenty of white space and sharp copywriting.

Belle Epoque is a French patisserie, located on Islington’s Upper Street, crafting cakes, chocolates, breads, viennoseries, tarts and quiches from high-quality ingredients in a kitchen designed to complement the unrivalled expertise of their chef.
Originally commissioned to develop Belle Epoque’s website, Mind Design managed to expand the scope of the project into a full brand identity exercise that went on to include still life photography, stationery, business cards, packaging, menu design and website. Inspired by the drawings of English Art Nouveau artist Aubrey Beardsley, Belle Epoque’s new brand identity is built around a bold swirling black and white motif, the flourishes of a gold ink and block foil print finish, and images that draw out the colour, artistry and detail of the pastry work through colour and form contrast.
