About Chocolate Mouth Шоколад таңгагы

Chocolate Mouth — бул кол өнөрчүлүк менен жасалган бонбон шоколад брендинин таңгак дизайны. Дизайн салттуу жана романтикалык шоколад таңгагынан алыстап, кайраттуу жана оюн-зоок мүнөздөгү визуалдык стилди колдонот. Долбоор үчүн атайын иллюстрациялар түзүлгөн, анын ичинде скелеттер, ретро тату мотивдери жана Остин шаарынын белгилүү жерлери бар. Иллюстрациялар бир нече белек кутуларынын коллекцияларында жана сезондук чыгарылыштарда иштей турган ырааттуу системаны түзөт. Эки куту өлчөмү колдонулат: 250 x 250 x 40 миллиметр жана 180 x 120 x 40 миллиметр. Ар бир куту коллекциялык буюм катары сакталууга ылайыкталып жасалган.

Unique Properties
Chocolate Mouth is an artisan chocolate brand from Austin, Texas, known for its handcrafted bonbons and playful, unconventional gift boxes.
The brand was created to bring personality, humor, and attitude back to chocolate - moving away from traditional, overly romantic chocolate branding.
The concept was built around the spirit of Austin, a city famous for its creative culture, music, art, and the well-known phrase Keep Austin Weird.
Dimensions & Packaging
The box 1 250 mm x 250 mm x 40 mm
The box 2 180 mm x 120 mm x 40 mm

Production Technology
A key part of the brand identity is the custom illustration style, created specifically for this project. Every illustration was designed from scratch and brings its own character to the packaging, ranging from playful skeletons and retro tattoos to Austin landmarks and cultural references.
Design Challenge
We created a bold and expressive visual identity that reflects Austin’s culture and the brand’s playful personality.
The project included the development of: Logo Design, Brand Identity System, Packaging Design for multiple chocolate box collections, Custom Illustration System, E-commerce Website Design & Development
Research
These illustrations create a visual language that feels alive, unconventional, and unmistakably Austin.
The packaging was designed to function like mini art posters, turning each chocolate box into a collectible object rather than just a container.
To support the brand experience online, we also designed and developed a custom e-commerce website that continues the same visual storytelling. The site reflects the same bold personality - colorful, playful, slightly weird, and unmistakably unique.
Inspiration
The main challenge was to create a brand that would stand out in a market dominated by traditional, elegant, and predictable chocolate packaging.
Chocolate Mouth wanted something different - something that reflects real life, real emotions, and real personalities. Their chocolate is not only for holidays like Valentine’s Day or weddings. It’s for breakups, celebrations, random Tuesdays, and everything in between.
Project Duration
Started in August 2025 and finished in February 2026 in Texas, USA
Operation Flow
Our goal was to translate this unique energy into a brand that feels bold, expressive, and a little rebellious, while still celebrating the craft of small-batch chocolate making. The brand needed to capture: the creative and slightly chaotic energy of Austin, a strong visual personality, packaging that feels collectible, fun, and memorable, a visual system that could work across multiple themed gift boxes and seasonal drops.
