An animated signature for Neil Young's production company Shakey Pictures, based on the existing identity. The rough, unpolished look is derived from his buzzing amplifiers and his notorious shakey falsetto voice. Since the content is likely to be folk or country rock music, an organic, analog approach was used.

Bull's Head is a small and modest family business turned Eastern Township success story. It has always been a family operation - based on an Irish recipe and named for it's creator's stubbornness. It's a strong drink with near medicinal qualities. It embodies many 'Canadian' and new world attitudes; an unflappable work ethic, local production, pride, and long term business relationships.

From a more commercial standpoint, Bull's Head was being out classed by niche beverages who have sleeker look, and better brand recognition. After being deemed too small by large super-market distribution, they'd rather focus on quality rather than quantity.

This idea for the packaging design grew out of a need for smaller proportions, taking a higher-end approach while still retaining a certain ruggedness. The goal was to design a more bold, recognizable package that would stand out on shelves, attract a younger audience customer and retain the company's historical red diamond. ***More images soon***
