This month in the garden What to plant, prune and feed now. After looking at all of the widely used pride flags, I determined that Red Baer would need to can a minimum of 12 different beers in order to have enough pride stripes to make as many pride flags as possible.Menu () (0) Login/Join Trade Garden Advice Garden Diary Services ProductsPlantsIndoorEdibleFlowering favouritesHedging edging & screeningShrubsAustralian nativesGroundcoversFerns & shadePalms & tropicalCamellias & azaleasSucculents & cactusRosesClimbingHangingTreesOrchidsGrasses & strappy leafTopiary & espalierAquaticBonsai & accessoriesSeeds & bulbsLiving giftsPotsIndoorOutdoorPlasticWine barrelsWire basketsBaskets & pot bagsFeature pots & urnsRaised garden bedsVertical gardensSeedling traysStands feet & saucersHomewaresCushionsHome fragranceLanterns & candle holdersBaskets & pot bagsHome accessoriesWall decorDoormats & rugsArtificial plants & flowersFurnitureDiningLoungeHanging chairsBalcony & courtyardSunloungesUmbrellasChairs & benchesConsoles & side tablesEverything elseSeeds & bulbsBulk soil sand & mulchBagged mixes mulch manure & moreFertilisersPest & weed solutionsTurf & lawn careHusqvarna power gardenGarden toolsHoses & watering equipmentGarden accessoriesPavers blocks & stoneWeber BBQs & accessoriesFirepits & woodStatues & water featuresCement productsGarden shedsSale Gift Card Contact Us Clearance on now!Browse the sale=Get guaranteed garden workFind out more=Getting it home is easyFind out more= 20% off Debco Potting MixAll 25L bags The home of beautiful baskets Browse our range Garden advice Tips, inspiration and pest solutions.

For Tall Dark & Nutty, with its intense peanut butter chocolate flavor, brown seemed to be the best option. This color stripe became known as the "pride stripe."Īs for what colors 51st State and Tall Dark & Nutty would be, we agreed that red made the most sense for 51st's pride stripe because the artwork was drawing on the fact that DC's state flag is red and white, and Red Bear is located on the red metro line.

They suggested having the stripe run horizontally around the top rim of the can, but I proposed that we keep the vertical position so it could take up a full "side" of the can with their name inside the stripe. This way they could stack cans vertically and build any pride flag at various scales. The team envisioned being to be able to compose various pride flags by lining up different combinations of their canned beers. This concept was pitched as the "safe" choice that would be easiest to execute but still have the ability to stand out from amongst other cans.ĭespite the bears' wonky looking faces, they chose the "Habitats" concept! I was really excited about this because it would be the most challenging of the three to design, but also the most fun.Īn element that we decided the "Habitats" concept should borrow from the "Collage" direction was the stripe of color. The name of the beer would be positioned vertically (like on the spine of a book) with a solid color background colored to match the primary artwork.

I explained that this would be the most complex design to create, but it would be highly unique artwork compared to other local beers.Ĭollage, which would feature Red Bear's logo and a series of small and simple images, stacked like Tetris blocks in the background. What's pictured in the collage would be dependent on the flavors and theme of the beer. Habitats, where Red Bear's mascot, Ursula, would be placed in a scene based on the theme or flavor profiles of the beer. This rating was relative to the other directions: Habitats and Collage. I pitched this concept as the "middle of the road" option regarding how complex it would be for me to design, and how unique it would be for Red Bear. Those textures and images would be based on the flavors and theme of the beer.

Silhouettes, which would have a very bold and simple typographic treatment for the beer titles with abstract textures and imagery housed in the profile of a bear head. Even though we were starting with Red Bear's 51st State IPA and Tall Dark & Nutty sout, this was where I had to think about laying the groundwork for the visual style that all future labels would follow. I offered three different directions for Red Bear to choose from: Knowing where the competition stood and having identified some areas where Red Bear had opportunity to stand out, I began sketching.
