Karen Cuthbert · CLIENT: Gerhard Wolff – Wolffstrunk
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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
