Designing with Your Health in Mind: NuGo Organic Protein Bars Package Design

About NuGo Nutrition Bars

Whether it’s low glycemic, gluten-free, low carb, vegan, or for diabetes, NuGo’s line of nutrition bars satisfy your cravings with your health in mind. Artfully created with real antioxidant-rich organic cacao dark chocolate, NuGo’s collection of organic bars are certified USDA organic, Non-GMO, and OU Kosher. Perfect for the health-conscious consumer, this product line of protein bars needed a new look in order to be attention-grabbing and informative with all of their benefits clearly displayed on the front of the packaging.

Our Vision for NuGo

When given the task of redesigning the packaging for NuGo’s Organic line of protein bars, we were given a list of all of the benefits and certifications that not only are representative of their brand and their products but also are extremely important to their consumers. The mission was to communicate all of these key health benefits clearly on the front of the packaging while simultaneously visually presenting the product in an appetizing manner.  As a health-conscious consumer, you not only want to eat well but of course you want to enjoy the foods you are eating. So to convey this to their customers was to find the right balance between being informative and eye-catching.

We are proud to have been awarded GD USA Magazine’s 2018 American Package Design Award for this project.

Capturing the Spirit of “The Spirit of America”: Laird’s AppleJack 86 Label Design

A Brief History of Laird & Company

The Laird family has been passing down the art of producing their reowned AppleJack brandy through generations for almost 300 years. Laird & Company was America’s very first commercial distillery obtaining License #1 in 1780 right here in New Jersey.

While Robert Laird served in the Revolutionary War under George Washington, his family supplied the troops with their AppleJack brandy.

The Laird family’s signature apple brandy has stood the test of time and continues to be held in high regard throughout today’s ever-growing liquor industry.

Our Vision for Laird’s

When tasked with the opportunity to create a new label design for Laird’s AppleJack 86, we wanted to convey a contemporary evolution of this veteran spirit. The new design involved streamlining the Laird’s logo as well as manipulating a range of typefaces until the desired effect was achieved. The goal was to create a certain level of sophistication while simultaneously paying homage to the legacy of the Laird family in American history.
