“For the discerning female consumer unsatisfied with the taste of many popular alcoholic beverages, SX Latin Liquors has launched a new line of premium Latin spirits infused with sensual and exotic ingredients. The distinctive contoured bottle and the products inside deliver on the brand’s bold promise: Your Drink. Sexier!
SX (the “S” stands for sensual and the “X” for exotic) is launching with three products. All are named for passionate Latin dances: SXchachacha (100% agave reposado tequila infused with lemon and honey, SXcalypso (aged rum and a hint of mint and lemon) and SXsamba (cachaca rum with a hint of vanilla and sweet limes).

“As a part of advanced packaging class in the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, the assignment was to pick an existing California winery to design their wine label. T his include designing two lower-tier wine, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, priced on $ 40 per bottle, and a higher-tier Cabernet Sauvignon priced at $ 150 per bottle that comes with a wine case. I picked Opus One Winery, America’s first, ultra-premium brand wine born under the partnership of Chateau de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. The main goal is to reflect their exquisite and delicate wine production technique through the new label. The inspiration came from the 1800s music sheet covers, after referring back to the meaning of the word Opus (the first masterwork of a composer), but still keeping it modern and current.”

Originally established in 1965 as a mail-order veterinary supply business, Petco opened its first retail store in 1976. Today, Pecto has more than 22,000 employees at 1,000 stores across the U.S. carrying up to 10,000 “different pet-related items for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and amphibians, birds and small animals.” They also sell basic pets like fish, hamsters, and snakes — we sometimes use it as a mini zoo for our daughters. Yesterday Petco announced revisions to its logo and tagline, taking it from “where the pets go” to “where the healthy pets go”. Unhealthy pets can go fuck themselves. Apologies for the harsh language but I find the tagline change completely obnoxious. On to the logo.
“The update to our logo reflects the fresh, forward-looking company that Petco is today. Our new visual identity better reflects the new Petco — healthy, active and contemporary — while retaining the essence of the brand, its warmth and our passion for pets,” Petco Chief Marketing Officer Elisabeth Charles said.

Although I don’t despise it as much as the tagline change, the revised logo is quite annoying. The typography has gone from a sturdy and fun bold sans serif — maybe they see the fat type as unhealthy as the pets they don’t want — to a meek sans serif that features this new, horrific trend of rounding out only half of the corners and ends of the characters and leaving the rest squared off. Somebody please shoot that “e” and “c” and put them out of their visual misery. The tagline is also set in a forgettable sans, leaving the funky bold typewriter version far behind. Perhaps the only improvement in this are the redrawn pets, Blew Mews and Red Ruff, with a more fluid drawing, especially in the limb and tail areas. Overall, a complete disappointment for what is otherwise a lively brand.
