It would be really hard not to spot these bold one-eye labels on the shop shelf. Each olive oil bottle is made from the typical [dark green glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-extra-virgin-olive-oil), making the contrast with the white pigment quite marked. Two bottles positioned next to each other make for an familiar pair of peepers, complete with long eyelashes, massive irises and a hint of lively shine.

With this sweet cyclops imagery comes the word "Hi" printed in a large and obvious size. The ocular graphic and the greeting work together to engage the consumer, reinforced by the line, "I want to follow you." Due to the abundance of [olive oil products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-olive-oil-guy) on the market, designers are constantly exploring ways to catch the eye of the customer, and this visual strategy by Matadog Design is certainly direct and successful.
