About Zona Pangunahing Tungkulin: Pagba-branding at Pagpapakete

Teksto ng Aklat: Ang Zona ang unang hard seltzer ng Angola, pinagdudugtong ang lokal na pamana sa isang kontemporaryong estetika, na may pagkakakilanlan ng tatak na inspirado ng mga bukal ng Huambo at ng Ilog Okavango. Ang disenyo ay nakasentro sa isang kontemporaryo at matapang na estetika na gumagamit ng monochromatic at base-sa-prutas na mga paleta at mga geometric na ikono upang makakuha ng pansin. Isang pasadyang logotype ang nagsasama ng nakatagong tilamsik ng tubig, na sumisimbolo sa esensya ng buhay at agos ng mga ilog. Sa pamamagitan ng pagsasama ng mga buhay na buhay na kulay sa isang malinis at base-sa-puti na layout, ang Zona ay nag-aalok ng isang sariwa at nakakasiglang karanasang biswal na nagdiriwang ng pinagmulan nito sa pamamagitan ng isang bata at disenyong nakatutok na lente.

Unique Properties
Zona is the first hard seltzer brand of Angola, bridging local heritage with a contemporary aesthetic. The identity is defined by a "flow" concept, utilizing a hidden water splash symbol within the logotype. Each flavor is identified by a unique geometric icon and a monochromatic palette derived from the fruit's internal and external colors. This system creates a high-impact, clean look that communicates premium quality while remaining approachable and energetic for a young demographic.
Dimensions & Packaging

Production Technology
Design printed directly on the cans with Pantone system inks.
Design Challenge
The primary challenge was introducing an entirely new product category: Hard Seltzer to a market while ensuring it felt authentically Angolan without relying on visual clichés. Balancing the constructive narrative of the brand's mission with the functional requirements of beverage packaging was critical. We overcame this by using the river metaphor, a symbol of life and unity, to create a sophisticated logotype and icon system that feels both globally competitive and deeply rooted in the local landscape of Huambo.
Research
Type: Market and Cultural Ethnographic Research. Objectives: To establish the first hard seltzer identity in the Angolan market. Methodology: Analysis of local fruit profiles and water-source symbolism. Tools: Color theory mapping and competitive visual audits. Participants: Local youth and community stakeholders. Results: Identified a gap for a wellness-oriented, low-alcohol beverage with local roots. Insights: Users preferred minimalist, non-busy designs that emphasize "freshness." Impact: The research influenced a visual language that promotes Angolan origins as a mark of premium quality.
Inspiration
The design is inspired by the life-giving springs of Huambo, which feed the Okavango River and sustain a diverse ecosystem. This "spirit of beginnings" and the concept of rivers as connectors served as the foundation for the brand. The geometric icons represent the structured yet fluid nature of water systems. Culturally, the brand draws from the vibrant energy of modern Angola, seeking to create a constructive and uplifting narrative that fosters positive community impact.
Project Duration
6 months, Angola, USA and France
Operation Flow
The design process utilized a "Diverge and Converge" methodology to translate ecological concepts into a modern branding system. Initial sketches explored fluid river patterns, which were then refined into precise geometric symbols using Adobe Illustrator. A dual-tone color strategy was developed to ensure flavor distinction and shelf-standout. High-fidelity 3D renders were created in Adobe Dimension/Photoshop to simulate light-play on the metallic cans and test the visibility of the textured "a" logotype in real-world environments.
