REV(isions): Ziba label/brand.

I revized the new Ziba label and logo, as well as the typefaces used. Back in the spring the big issue was the similarity between Ziba and the Retro Modern type con. The new typefaces of the logo is Adventure Subtitles. It looks hip and modern like my audience. The combination of rounded and straight edges paired with the fluidity of ITC Century Bold Condensed carries connotes milk for young and modern people. The labels now feature my own photography instead of the found work I used in the previous version. The logo is punched out from the colored bar to be the same, but also varied, depending on the background. I added little icons to show the flavor of the milk without cluttering up the image. The lid and the bottom of the bottle are now utilized for recycling information. The idea of a duplex printed label is still there, but to make it applicable to any guest artist, the back of the label now gives you an inspirational quote, rather than additional text on the artwork itself.
I was thinking of putting information about the artist on the back of the label, but I realized that since most of the milk is consumed in the morning, my audience could be more interested in getting a short message rather than a long paragraph about someone they might not even care about.
I made some changes in the brandbook as well, mostly by replacing Century Gothic and New Caledonia with Museo and ITC Century. I love Museo! Pictures or layouts will be posted soon.

UE: Ziba Initial Research.


Introducing Mike and Jill.
Jill and Mike are graphic designers who rent a hip, modern apartment in NYC. They are both in their 20s and just started their career. They work for a famous advertising agency and have very little time. In her spare time Jill likes to look around in antique stores and Mike explores print shops. Jill and Mike usually hang out at a local bar that sells home-made beer and is known for its eco-friendly design. Jill and Mike recycle and are actively promoting a green lifestyle to their friends in family. Their close friends Anna and Tom, who are a little bit older, work in the marketing department and also enjoy environmentally-friendly design. Both couples like to listen to live music and love a picnic on a good summer day.

Suitable for all ages.
Both Jill and Mike love milk. They love flavored milk and usually drink it in the evening while relaxing by the tv. Jill likes Ziba because she can easily put it her purse and save it for later. When you have a lot of materials and a bottle of milk, NY subway can be stressful. That is why Ziba is perfect for her. Mike likes Ziba because it fits his image. It is not too girly and is compact and easy to carry around. It is the perfect size to carry from home to office. Mike actually thinks that milk is becoming fashionable. Jill also drinks her milk on the way to work right after she takes it out of the fridge to keep it cool. Ziba is small, so Jill and Mike have no trouble fitting a package of two in the office refrigerator. Ziba is also perfect for the times when Jill's niece comes over during the weekend. 8 year-old Annie loves the design that is not as big and chunky as most other milk containers.
Jill likes that Ziba does not leave a mess that milk cartons do sometimes. It has a cap so it is always sealed shut and never spills.

UE: Ziba is Beautiful.

What is Zeba?
Ziba is a nature-friendly dairy product that comes in recyclable packages that are fun and friendly. In the good old days milk used to be sold in glass bottles that would be refilled by a milk man. Where are the milkmen, by the way? Ziba Milk is 100% natural and comes from happy cows that graze in the green meadows of _____. Ziba comes in three flavors: regular, chocolate and strawberry. The flavors are natural and are added according to a 200-year-old recipe that is passed on from father to son. Have you been trying to find that unforgettable taste that only comes from good, high-quality milk? Ziba preserves all the natural components of milk and it is as fresh as it would be if you just milked a cow.
