I stopped in one of Milwaukee’s Caribous the other day — mmmm, tasty. I didn’t notice their re-branding yet, but saw on Allan’s Peter’s blog that Colle+McVoy updated their look. Although I think Caribou should have a play corner like some Starbucks (us moms appreciate those things), I do love their coffee and the new look. What do you think?
Caribou Rebrand

October 12th, 2009
While we’re on the topic of beer, let’s honor those local breweries that have great taste in their label design. Furthermore, New Glarus, Ale Asylum and Tyranena are all tasty Wisconsin brews with clever label designs (and copywriting). Order one up to support your local breweries and local designers.

Happy Easter
April 10th, 2009Don’t go to Easter brunch at Grandma’s house empty handed. Take a box of Route 29 chocolates, caramels or cookies to this weekend’s festivities. Spotted at Borders, (with locations in Greendale, Eau Claire, Fox Point, Madison and Milwaukee) these gourmet candies come in packaging that any designer would be proud to give. Using unique package forms, a seasonal color palette and illustrations of bunnies and chicks, this fresh look is sure to make the Easter Bunny envious.
Kohler Chocolates
March 26th, 2009
So, we all know that Kohler makes beautiful faucets, kitchen and bath fixtures, but did you know that they also make chocolate? Well, apparently the fine people at Oprah and The Dieline, the world’s #1 package design website, knew. Featured in O Mag’s February “O List”, Kohler Chocolates (from Kohler, WI) also won a Pentaward (best package design) from thedieline.com. These chocolates not only taste good, but look good too. Perfect for Easter – find a retailer near you at kohlerchocolates.com.
