Here are a beautifully Designed set of herbal water labels by McLean design in the USA. I love their simplicity with strong variant colour-coding, while the wodden background and the photography give it a very natural feel. It’s nice to see some very easy to read type running vertically on these labels as this is something clients will often shy away from.

This is one of ours We’ve been rebranding the whole Hubbards range for the last year and are very proud to be able to show what we have come up with.

This is Hubbard’s core range of Mueslis. many thanks to Daron Parton and Watermark for the beautiful illustration.

I thought I would start off this design critique blog with a rather beautiful selection of wine labels featuring birds – this is the Black Robin blog after all!

I found these on another design site and I believe they were created by ‘War Design’ for Logan Wines, Australia. I was immediately taken by the effective simplicity of the line drawings. The use of only black and white gives the range a modern yet classic tone and the fluid movement of the illustrated birds makes the wine handcrafted – plus I like the device created by the twig that each bird is sitting on cutting through the label and separating the illustration from the text in a natural manner.
