From pantry staple to shelf personality.

Olive oil packaging thatlives on the family tablelonger than it liveson the shelf.

Casa Virgin needed a brand that could hold its own in crowded specialty grocery and café environments. The opportunity was to build something immediately legible, unmistakably Italian, and full of attitude—without introducing unnecessary barriers at retail.

The idea that almost made it.

Edgy by design.

The first concept put dripping lips at the center—provocative, memorable, and perfectly spicy. As a CPG designer, I love the chance to go edgy: pushing right up against the limits of what’s acceptable and making work that gets a real reaction out of people.

The instinctPush right to the edge. Make people feel something.

Simple enough for the shelf. Loud enough to own it.

Safe never meant silent.

Big circular names, hand-cut letterforms, confident flavor colors, and a cast of illustrated characters replaced the provocative cue. The final identity keeps the original spark while giving buyers a clearer, friendlier product story.

01

Read in three seconds

A giant flavor name and a strict front-panel hierarchy do the hard work from across the aisle.

02

Color is navigation

Green, truffle gold, and signal red make the range easy to understand without losing family resemblance.

03

Character at every scale

Small olive details and hand-drawn type reward the closer look and make every tin feel personal.
