Corporate identity for Russian North vodka

Overview   Process  

Task: to design a corporate identity for vodka

Russian North is a new brand of vodka coming in three flavors: Classic, Cranberry, and Taiga. We’ve created the brand name, developed the logo, visual identity, and bottle designs.

The original idea behind the Russian North bottle is in its unconventional facets refracting the light. The bottom is embossed with a compass to protect you from knock-offs. The “frosted window” pattern shimmers from the inside of the bottle out, making Russian North stand out on store shelves as in its private spotlight.
