Splattered Bovine Branding

Spotted Cow Packaging Features Spilled Liquid for a Sweet Logo

— July 13, 2012 — Lifestyle
The child in you will be udderly delighted by the look of The Spotted Cow packaging as it plays off of imagination and the fun of making a mess. An accurate representational image might have been chosen to label the bottle with black and white bovine but the graphic technique exercised by Ashleigh Hansberger is so much more endearing.

Spilt milk is a common scene in a house with young children. The mess isn't typically ideal but the act of analyzing the spatter of liquid can make for an amusing game. Much like the youthful fascination with discovering shapes within passing clouds, the designer has formed a fluid outline of a female ox for a deliciously charming graphic. Complete with a bit of peripheral spray, The Spotted Cow packaging comes in four color-coded varieties with contents as wholesome as the brand identity.
Trend Themes
1. Imaginative Packaging Design - The trend of using creative and imaginative packaging designs to evoke emotions and engage consumers, like The Spotted Cow's spilt liquid logo.
2. Childhood Nostalgia Marketing - The trend of targeting consumers' sense of nostalgia for their childhood through branding and packaging, as seen in The Spotted Cow's playful design.
3. Interactive Packaging Experience - The trend of creating interactive packaging experiences that allow consumers to engage with the product, such as analyzing the spatter of liquid on The Spotted Cow packaging.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Opportunities for food and beverage companies to create unique and engaging packaging designs that stand out on the shelves and resonate with consumers.
2. Marketing and Advertising - Opportunities for marketers and advertisers to leverage childhood nostalgia and interactive packaging experiences to create memorable and impactful campaigns.
3. Graphic Design - Opportunities for graphic designers to push creative boundaries and come up with innovative packaging designs that capture consumers' attention and convey brand messaging.
