The Design

About Yo,verde Olijfolie

Een synthese-oefening voor dit ontwerp, geïnspireerd op klassieke sirooppotten. De naam is het insigne van het product dat de groene kleur van de olie binnenin rechtvaardigt. Op de voorkant is het logo gemaakt van het farmaceutische kruis dat een gepixeld hart vormt. Het sobere en ongekunstelde ontwerp dat een boodschap gebruikt die verband houdt met gezondheid en de inhoud ervan.

Naming, graphic design and finishing work together showing a powerful & consistent product, which breaks the usual design concepts about olive oil.

Tags: packaging, extra virgin olive oil, oil, food packaging, graphic design, package, packaging design
Production Technology: Glass. This bottle is painted in white, and printed in two colours.
Design Challenge: Our challenge was to design a new visual language in olive oil world, unconventional and fresh, in order to connect to a public which needs to feel healthy. At the same time, this design must work all over the world, and look updated, healthy and simple, according to its cost.
Inspiration: Yo, verde produces early harvest oil collected in the month of October. The family that collects and produces the oil are farmers and pharmacists. They wanted both disciplines to be perceived in their packaging with an iconic, modern design and using visual codes little used in the olive oil sector.

Starting from this brief, it was studied which visual formula was the most appropriate to convey a message that would unite the territory of the oil and the pharmaceutical sector. The bottom line was that a good idea was to make the bottle look like a classic syrup pot. Three key elements were synthesized, the appearance of the bottle, the name and the logo. In search of simplification in the message, a simple bottle with shapes similar to that of the syrup bottle was used, painting it white, with a sober stopper without artifices. The name of the product justifies the green color of the oil inside. The logo is constructed from the pharmaceutical cross forming a pixelated heart. All these elements are integrated and linked, bringing coherence to the idea.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2016 and finished in February 2017 in Úbeda.
Operation Flow: The bottle is easy to handle because of its reduced measurements. The screw cap is a non-refillable and anti-drip one, which allows to have a comfortable and delightful experience while serving. This Extra Virgin Olive Oil just can be bought in pharmacies, health stores, and own website.
