The Design

About Wolffstrunk Corporate Identity

Wolffstrunk is a corporate identity created for a brand of fruit schnapps and fruit liqueurs produced in a private distillery. Graphic reduction and precision characterize the visual identity. A simplified figure of a wolf serves as the design mark of the corporate design system, and the stylized shape of a drop is added to the figure. A movable head gives the mark a humorous character and allows dynamic layouts. The system includes a composite mark, business documents, bottle labels, posters, postcards, a brand book and a short website animation.

Unique Properties
Gerhard Wolff sells under the brand name Wolffstrunk the finest fruit schnapps and fruit liqueurs which, are produced in his private distillery in Extertal. The idea, concept and design of a new appearance and furthermore the development of a comprehensive corporate design system and communication concept for the brand Wolffstrunk are the thematic foundation of my bachelor thesis.

Production Technology
The corporate design includes the design and concept of a composite mark, business documents, bottle labels, posters, postcards and a brand book as well as a short website animation. This identity was mainly made with the Adobe Creative Suite. The whole corporate design was printed on high-quality paper.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was to create a movable design mark version. The wolf with a movable head. It provides the corporate design system with a large portion of confident humour and allows a dynamic design of all variations of advertising material.
Research
The graphically reduced figure of the wolf functions as a basis for the visual appearance and as a new design mark within the corporate design system of the brand Wolffstrunk. Added to the figure of the wolf is the stylized shape of a drop. The reduced design mark is neat, clear and modern designed. It follows the trend towards a simplified use of forms.
Inspiration
Less is more. This is even true for the consumption of high-proof alcohol as well as for good design. Graphic reduction and precision characterize the new visual identity in a media wide communication which, continues in a strict and graphic visual language by a consistent and smart play with the metaphor wolf. The brand Wolffstrunk appears modern, genuine, unique and with a good portion of confident humour.
Project Duration
The project was my bachelor thesis and took about 4 month time.
Operation Flow
The word and design mark renounces ornaments and excesses in any shape or form. A memorable and distinctively recognizable design has priority, since something that is simply designed, is easy to remember.
