Smarduch Family Distillery tasked us with crafting a unique label design for Awiator Gin. This limited-edition gin honors the achievements of Polish aviation heroes, specifically Franciszek Źwirko and Stanisław Wigura, who triumphed in the 1932 "Challenge" competition. The design needed to:

• Blend historical aviation elements with modern, elegant aesthetics.
• Emphasize the gin's premium quality and the distillery's artisanal craftsmanship.
• Stand out in the competitive spirits market while remaining true to its Polish roots.

‍

Discovery:
We researched the historical significance of the RWD 6 aircraft, the legacy of the 1932 "Challenge" competition, and Smarduch Family Distillery’s brand identity. This formed the foundation for a design that celebrates both aviation history and exceptional gin-making.

Our Approach:

• Historical Elements: Featuring the RWD 6 aircraft’s outline on the label’s lower section as a tribute to Polish aviation heroes.
• Elegant Branding: Incorporating the Smarduch Family Distillery logo with blue foil detailing for a sophisticated touch.
• Typography: Using a serif font for the "Awiator" text to exude quality and prestige.

‍

Design Phase:
The label design reflects the balance between tradition and modernity, featuring:

• Aviation Motifs: A detailed outline of the RWD 6 aircraft that anchors the design in aviation history.
• Premium Finishes: Blue foil embellishments to highlight key elements, adding a layer of elegance.
• Serif Typography: Carefully chosen to emphasize the gin’s artisanal quality.

Functional Aesthetics:
The label’s layout ensures legibility and visual harmony, making it both eye-catching and informative. The design aligns with the distillery’s commitment to quality and tradition.

• Heritage Meets Modernity: The label bridges the gap between Polish aviation history and contemporary design, resonating with a broad audience.
• Market Distinction: Awiator Gin’s packaging sets it apart in the spirits market, capturing the attention of both gin enthusiasts and aviation history aficionados.
• Legacy Celebration: The design honors the achievements of Źwirko and Wigura, while showcasing the distillery’s dedication to quality and tradition.
