    Coca-Cola have announced that they are launching a new ‘pocket sized’ range of bottles to sit alongside their core range of Classic Coke, Diet Coke and Coke Zero. The new PET range will be smaller than the standard sized bottle consumers have become accustomed to and will hold 375ml of drink.   Gideon Karmiloff, MD at Vivid Brand said: ‘Targeting the on-the-go occasion with a smaller pack size has been driven by key consumer insights. The Shopper Campaign and packaging we developed leverage these to connect Coca-Cola with shoppers at the decisive moment of purchase in store.”  “With over 70% of purchasing decisions made at the chiller cabinet, we needed a simple, disruptive and relevant visual identity to stand out within the cluttered and competitive environment.“ Vivid Brand’s Creative Director, explains: “ We highlighted the new smaller size and convenience of 375ml by clearly communicating the pocket size nature of the product. The packaging design was particularly challenging as the label is small so we focused on optimising the brand standout and de-cluttering the information.” Coca-Cola’s Marketing Manager, says: “This is an exciting moment for Coca-Cola and builds on our commitment to growing the choice of products available to consumers. ...

    We are captivated by these stunning shots from photographer Tommaas and styled by Carla Engler. On first look this appears to be a regular but beautifully captured and constructed beauty feature, but when you look closely you see that every model has their ‘hair’ styled with a selection of paraphanalia, all intended to draw attention to recycling & eco issues.

    Posted February 14, 2012 By in Vivid Blog With | No Comments Arty swimming dogs
    It’s probably because it’s Valentines Day and we are feeling all soft and squishy so when we saw these pictures, we coldn’t help but go ‘Ahhhh!’ Well, until we saw this one – then we went ‘Aghhhhhh!!!!!!!!’and made a mental note not to paddle in ponds where dogs, frisbees or tennis balls might be. Enjoy this collection of cute underwater doggies knashing away at toys and random old grannies, in a frankly sinister fashion. These photos were taken by Photographer Seth Casteel who spent hours underwater in Los Angeles taking pictures and risking the health of his legs. Twelve dogs took part in the shoot, including labradors, a border collie, a dachshund, a bulldog, a Belgian tervuren and a King Charles spaniel. A book, Ruff Water, is planned.

    We are very iSad at Vivid Brand. In memory of Steve Jobs and the huge impact he has had on design and the integration of technology and User Interfaces in a relevant and stylish way to consumer’s lifestyles (was there ever a time before iPods and iPhones???), we look at other products that have changed the way we live. Before iPhones……there was the Polaroid Instant Camera. You needed big pockets in those days. Before iPhones …..there was the ‘Mobile’ phone from Motorola. Mobile, if you didn’t mind carrying it around with you in it’s own bag and were a trained bricklayer. Before the iPod….there was the Sony Walkman. Launched in 1979, this product was the hip product to be seen with in the 80s, providing mobile music on the go. Yo Yo!! Before iTunes, digital downloads and docking stations…… there was the Ghettoblaster which looked best when perched jauntily on the edge of your shoulder Before iPods……you needed a Sony Walkman, a Ghettoblaster AND a cassette tape. Your Maxwell or JVC Cassette would probably hold a scratchy recording of the Top 40, or a special mix from your girl/boy friend/admirer, recorded by pressing a combination of multiple buttons down at ...

  • Have you tasted Pussy?

    Posted By in Blood Potion, brand, Branson, Domo-kun, Energy drinks, Holly Branson, Pac Man Engergy Drink, pussy, Red Bull, Richard Branson, Sam Branson, Virgin, visual identity, Vivid Blog With | No Comments Have you tasted Pussy?
    It’s rather fitting that this new premium energy drink brand is the product of a collaboration from the children of  a Virgin – Holly and Sam Branson and entrepeneur Jonnie Shearer. “Pussy is raunchy by name and raunchy by nature” apparently. Pussy can also  “…be enjoyed alone, but is best shared with friends.” (Sam Branson). But, does this new energy drink brand have more to it than the shock factor alone? Until now, the brand has mainly been the preserve of nighclubbers and celebrities, since it’s launch on the London nightclub scene in 2004. Aimed at upmarket nightclubs, with the market positioning of being ‘spontaneous, entertaining and fun’, the brand has since grown a following and achieved listings in Tesco, Selfridges and Virgin Trains, amongst others. From a Visual identity perspective, Vivid Brand is confused by the juxtoposition of the 90′s electro style logo and renaissance style flourishes, but recognises that the white can would stand out well in dingy nightclubs and be enhanced by UV lighting. Pussy is entering a highly competitive and cluttered market of energy drinks. Here’s our selection of the best (in style) of the rest: Domo-kun, a Japanese Bubblegum flavored Energy Drink Blood Potion Fruit ...

  • All that glitters is Swarovski

    Posted September 26, 2011 By in brand, Brand Expression, Brand Values, campaign, merchandising, Swarovski, treasure hunt, Vivid Blog With | No Comments All that glitters is Swarovski
    We at Vivid Brand have been watching Swarovski’s brand and style evolution from the 80′s, when they were known primarily for their cute but slightly tacky crystal collectibles (who doesn’t need a crystal hedgehog after all?) to their current incarnation today, as fully fledged sparkly style setters and an aspirational, premium brand renowned for their stunning crystals. Swarovski’s have just launched a new TV/Cinema Ad and we at Vivid Brand are divided. On the one side, it is seen as lacking credibility and relevance for the Swarovski brand and on the other as a breathtakingly ethereal masterpiece, both beautiful and forward thinking. We were particularly impressed by the scale of the production and the art direction that is reminiscent of the acclaimed photographer Tim Walker. If you haven’t already see this, click here to watch it now. The ad was integrated with a Treasure Hunt in London, to promote the featured ring used in the TV and press campaign. Those competing could win a holiday to Florence and a visit to the Austrian Swarovski factory. Vivid Brand registered, but were unable to take part as we did not have the right phone and operating system and so could not download the ...

  • Burberry uses twitter at London Fashion Week

    Posted September 23, 2011 By in customer marketing, social marketing, tweetwalk, twit pics, Vivid Blog With | No Comments Burberry uses twitter at London Fashion Week
    We were interested to see Burberry harnessing the power of social networking at London Fashion Week to showcase their new collection this week. The fashion house developed a “Tweetwalk” with Twitter where backstage Twitpics of every outfit were taken and shared with Burberry’s Twitter followers before the models had even stepped onto the catwalk in the marquee in London’s Hyde Park. Photos of the FROW and attendees can be scrolled through: Burberry also streamed the catwalk show live in HD through burberry.com and Facebook. In addition, livestreams were formatted for viewing on the Chinese social networks Sina Weibo and Youku, as well as for smartphone and tablet platforms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmjJuEBrDZI&feature=youtu.be  
  • Pizza Express re-brands after 42 years

    Posted September 19, 2011 By in brand, customer experience, customer marketing, pizza, restaurant branding, Vivid Blog, website With | No Comments Pizza Express re-brands after 42 years
    Hearing the news that Pizza Express had launched a new concept restaurant, we popped down to Kings Cross to check it out. Having kept the same branding for 42 years since launch, we were intrigued to see how the new brand would be developed. From the outside, it is apparent that Pizza Express have made some noticable design changes and an A-board on the pavement informs us of the changes that await inside. The front of the restaurant features floor to ceiling glass panels that allow you to see the buzzing conversations and ambience within. In fact you can see straight through to the back, where the new open kitchen showcases the Chefs at work. Pizza Express (PE) have kept the core design of their logo, but refreshed it with the addition of striking monochrome stripes, inspired by the stripey shirts of traditional pizza makers (pizzaiolos) in Italy. It’s certainly impactful and very distinctive. The stripes are followed through in the the interior, with walls clad in shiny black and white ceramic tiled stripes and bold stripey lampshades hanging over the cosy red booths. These red booths have been introduced to foster the social element of eating out and to ...
  • Star Wars BT Tower Lightsaber illuminates the night sky

    Posted September 15, 2011 By in customer experience, marketing, Vivid Blog With | No Comments Star Wars BT Tower Lightsaber illuminates the night sky
    The force was certainly with us in London tonight, as Fox Home Entertainment exploited the characteristics of the BT Telecoms tower to transform it into a Lightsaber. As dusk fell, C3PO flicked a switch and blue light shot up from the top of the building, lighting up the sky across London for one night only and causing everyone within a miles radius to look up in awe.  The promotion was developed to support the release of Stars Wars: The Complete Saga, releasing on Blu-Ray this week and culminated with a star studded party at the BT venue  tonight. A simple and clever experiential idea, executed brilliantly. The Star Wars theme tune or lightsaber humming would have completed the effect for me.  For Star Wars Fans: feast on our favourite lightsaber fight: Yoda Fight Scene, Star Wars Episode III
