Independent branding agency, Formascope, recently completed a packaging redesign for Tanbing, a coffee product by Nongfu Spring, China’s largest bottled water company.

The packaging design centers on the concept of a complete coffee experience, with each element enhancing the consumer’s interaction with the product.

It emphasizes visual elements like colors and shapes that evoke and resonate with coffee culture, blending tradition with modern aesthetics and with a creative use of typography.

INSIDE SKINCARE LAB’s packaging design, created by formascope.agency offers a peek into the brand’s scientific process, with perforated elements that reveal handwritten notes from chemists scanned directly from lab experiments.

The intricate details and intentionally concealed trade secrets on the inner packaging not only add an air of mystery but also emphasize the brand’s commitment to transparency and scientific backing.

AdBlackSea is over, but our emotions are still high. For the second year in a row, we won gold, this time for Inside Skincare Lab. Devotion to creativity and to the work you love always pays off.
Thanks, AdBlackSea, for an amazing event!

We had an incredible time at the Food and Beverage Innovation Forum (FBIF) in Shanghai!

We were also thrilled to be invited to give a talk on “The Power of Simplicity in Brand Design: Translating Product Function into Market Success.” It was an amazing opportunity to share our insights on how simple, effective design can drive market success.

Thank you, FBIF, for this fantastic experience!

Our work for ‘less platform’ got shortlisted in two categories in D&AD Awards, in one of the world’s toughest creative competitions.

Proud to see Armenia on the list for the first time!

The best thing about gin is its focus on smooth herbal notes, mainly juniper, and it makes a good sip feel like a refreshing breath of winter air. The great-looking Oski Gin puts the spotlight on herbs from Armenia, and it’s apparently the first to make use of the country’s prized mountain thyme.⁠

⁠ The small-batch brand takes its name from the Armenian word for “gold,” so the design deserved a special, sophisticated touch. formascope agency nailed the brief with a low-key yet highbrow aesthetic, accenting simple black text on white paper with bands of coppery metal and grassy green sustainable paper. We’re especially into the funky wordmark, a blend of upper and lowercase san serif text elegant enough to look seamless.⁠

In August 2023, a team, including Lars Harmsen, Markus Lange, and Rene Wawrzkiewicz, embarked on a journey from Tbilisi, Georgia, to Yerevan, Armenia. Along the way, they delved into the studios of numerous designers and artists, and our studio was not an exception. We extend our sincere gratitude for their tremendous efforts and dedication.

As the year draws to a close, we’re excited to share that we’ve secured the #6 spot among independent agencies in ADCE’s Creative Rankings, highlighting the best European countries, agencies and studios of the year.

Notably, beginning this year, ADCE has merged with The One Club for Creativity. Points earned in the ADCE European Rankings will contribute to The One Club’s Global Creative Rankings, making it industry’s foremost global ranking for countries, agencies, brands, work, and creative professionals.

Logos. Why do some of them stick and others don't? Also, how do you go about them knowing they can make or break a brand's image? And most importantly, how do you make your brand's face both modern yet timeless? These are the questions that every graphic designer thinks of at some point in their creative endeavors.

Made with multiple materials and printing processes, labels play a crucial role in the spirits sector and rely heavily on design. They can also be a potent vector for technology. First published in the spring 2023 issue of Formes de Luxe, they round up the latest trends in the sector of spirits labels.

“Did you unravel the mystery of the logo? Let us give you a hint: Quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative one represents a data collection method that gathers and analyzes information from a large number of respondents. On the other hand, the qualitative method seeks to convey people’s thoughts and feelings that might influence their behavior.”

‘‘The Yerevan-based brand agency created a label design of 7 layers to deliver the depth and value of OSKI, which translates to ‘gold’ representing purity’’

Founded in 1987, the Epica Awards jury has been exclusively composed of editors and senior reporters from the world’s leading titles covering creativity and communications.

“"According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, glue is a “sticky substance that is used for joining things together.” Yet, the agency’s creatives had other thing in mind when thinking about it: How about explaining the “law of adhesiveness” through gravity? But what could possibly glue and gravity have in common? As per the agency, there is a place — call it a common ground, if you want — where both of these can manifest: Gravix.”

“Simple shapes and content are utilized to create a unified identity for a diversified modern gourmet food market.”
