A complete brand identity, label and carton design for Icelandic Glacial Water. The cool thing about this project is we had the opportunity to rebrand Icelandic Glacial at the same time we did the packaging, so it was a truly holistic effort. The other great thing about this was that we worked directly with the two principals of the company, Jon and Kristian Olaffson, who, no surprise are from Iceland.

As you’d guess with it’s namesake, this brand is all about Iceland and the core of our brief was to ensure this was baked into the DNA of the work. The label is based on the shape of Iceland and is literally a window to the icy topography of the country. Almost impossible to photograph, the new brand tagline we created "Source of an Epic Life", is rendered in contrasting varnishes on the back of the bottle.
