Newbies

I'm always paying attention to refreshing things being posted out there and saw these newbies this morning and thought I'd share them along.

This wine label (made by an experienced labelmaker) was screen-printed and named after the country’s international phone code. The font is based on the one used by the Bulgarian Post in the 1960s. A selective transparent UV matt varnish was applied on the pattern of circles around the logo against a glossy background--and then a transparent puff-up varnish on the +359 logo to create the appearance of wave lines. The label is also bordered with a glossy hot foil stamp and there are some tiny hot foil dots around the logo as well. Turned out really fun looking!




I found this label's technique interesting too. It was a seasonal greeting of
spiced mulled wine made for clients and friends from a design firm over in London called Buddy. Their Christmas wishes were pad printed matt silver directly onto the bottle glass (the design being suggestive of measuring jug graphics). The concept went: the more you drunk the merrier the message. Very festive, indeed!
