Design Studio B.O.B. created a brief and design for a conceptual brand called The Wonky Blend Co. that makes sustainable, seasonal fruit beverages. What makes the brand unique is that it uses imperfect fruits to create flavorful drinks based on the local fruits and the season—as such, the juices may be different based on a year's harvest.
While the Autumn blend boasts a deep red color thanks to its combination of beetroot, apple and carrot, the Summer juice combines refreshing peach, strawberry and raspberry, offering a great-tasting way for people to enjoy a portion of their daily recommended intake of fruits.
The juices, packaged in 100% recycled glass, boast labels that encourage consumers to reuse and refill the bottles where possible.
