Party Animals, Not the Kind You’d Find on the Ark

Coming up with unique artwork for various media–newspaper, magazines, posters, brochures, billboards, packaging, and the list can go on–is what we at Engine do on a daily basis. Something that doesn’t come across our table too often, and we would love to do more of, is wine label design. Recently I was reading an article in the Intelligencer on a new trend, lifestyle labels for wine bottles. It seems that the ‘critter labels’ such as Little Penguin (one of my personal favorites and a staple in my wine rack) will be taking a back seat to new ‘lifestyle labels’ such as Girls Night Out.

It seems that the trend is to create brands that are more targeted and gender specific. I guess that animals are out and sexy is in – whatever works, as long as those wine bottles make it off the shelf and into your wine cellar. Check out our most recent artwork for a local client who needed labels done up for a fundraiser Gala dinner. Now that’s sexy…

    funny. i noticed this seemed to be the latest trend yesterday, too. interested to see it blogged about today. it was this wine that caught my eye at the lcbo: Megalomaniac. instantly, a few names ran through my head for whom this particular brand may be a humorous, yet appropriate purchase. lol, but we don’t need to go there. either way, i was inspired to come home and check out their site. it’s really great actually, i’d recommend looking into it further. http://www.megalomaniacwine.com – i only saw the 2005 Bravado Cab Sauv (in the vintages section), but the price was reasonable ~$25.
