Q Mixers will Make Your Drink Spectacular \u2013 their premium mixers are perfectly carbonated, made with real ingredients, and balanced in flavor and sweetness to let your spirits shine.<\/p>

In a sea of seemingly comparable products, we were challenged to make Q stand out as a mixer, rather than a seltzer, sparkling water or ready-to-drink. To achieve this, we crafted an identity system that is as dynamic as the product itself. In partnership with the Q team, we designed packaging that harnesses the quality of the product and the spirit of the brand.<\/p>

Three main ideas bubbled to the surface when defining the brand and visual strategy. Spectacular Effervescence, Inspired by the Golden Hour and Made to Mix.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We emphasized <\/span>Spectacular Effervescence<\/strong> through the warm dappled light effects and bubble patterns in our brand visuals, which are reminiscent of the refreshing, perfectly carbonated Q cocktails. This confident style reflects the authenticity of Q.<\/span><\/p>

We also distilled the brand\u2019s color palette into a simplified but impactful selection inspired by the\u00a0Golden Hour<\/strong>, the perfect time of day to mix and enjoy a cocktail with Q. For the packaging design, we took inspiration from the product attributes – less sweet with real ingredients.

Q is specially crafted and truly\u00a0<\/span>Made to Mix<\/strong>. We celebrate and honor this through our graphic language, portraying the energy and excitement of the perfect pairing – Q Mixers with your favorite spirits. The brand is joyful, seeking to inspire through this sense of liveliness.<\/span><\/p>

In addition to Q\u2019s core offering of Carbonated Mixers, we extended the design system to their latest innovation launch of Non-Carbonated Mixers. To inspire the packaging design, we focused on the new taste profiles which included richer, bolder flavors – like the Bold & Savory Bloody Mary Mix or the Tart & Refreshing Margarita Mix.<\/p>

As the final project deliverable, the beautifully designed and copywritten Q Brand Guidelines book infuses the brand\u2019s confidence and joyfulness into every consumer touchpoint and showcases a thread of consistency across all communications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
