Inspired by 17th century herbal remedies as well as lepidopterology (the study of moths and butterflies), we built a refined ecosystem for Æcorn Aperitif's identity, brand world and packaging design to develop within.
We took all the elements provided by the Æcorn team and wove them into a story of duality – the levity of the butterfly and the foundation of the oak, a key ingredient of each varietal. The team at Æcorn shared an aphorism that says, "From small acorns, mighty oaks grow". This set us on the path for the brand to cover new territory as a nature company, establish brand world touch-points and breathe new life into the aperitif drinking occasion.
