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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1664-x-andre-saraiva) but the graphic technique exercised by Ashleigh Hansberger is so much more endearing.

[Spilt milk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatly-8) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-packaging-design) with contents as wholesome as the brand identity.
