Production Technology
Transparent glass bottle. Label from textured creamy paper with letter stamp perforation die cut and local glossy varnish. Printed by three Pantone colors.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to interpret the Czechoslovak legions values in an authentic way, engagingly and with dignity on the rum brand.
Research
I learned more about the historic context of my country and life destinies of soldiers fighting in the First and mainly also in the Second World War.
Inspiration
The long journey home (from Russia, via Panama to Europe) and the letters the legionnaires were sending home, are the inspiration for the concept. The name Heffron is the name of the last ship that carried legionnaires from Russia to Europe.
Project Duration
This project started in July 2018 and was finished in August 2019 in Prague, Czechia.
Operation Flow
It is simple spirit bottle – there's no special function to it. The short legionnaires story on the label might be considered as educative.
Patents
Trademark (2019) Palírna U Zeleneho stromu
