CF Napa Creates Gin Inspired by the Pacific Coast
Aquatica Distilling came to CF Napa to develop the name, packaging, logo, and custom bottle for their premium craft American Gin inspired by California and the Pacific Ocean’s influence on agriculture. Distilled and bottled in Northern California, the Gin had notes of fresh lemon, orange, and just a touch of brininess. The name Aquatica was developed by CF Napa to connote water, evoking the magic of the Pacific Coast.
For the custom bottle, CF Napa created a shape that was unique in the gin category, and the distinctive light aqua-blue hue of the bottle further supported the name and story. The back of the bottle was embellished with a custom deboss of California Pacific Coast ocean floor topography. When viewed through the front of the bottle, the refraction of light gives depth to the multi-level deboss.
The custom closure was a replica of a boat tie-off, complete with knotted rope.
The wordmark, icon, and linear topographic map lines added to the nautical, ocean-inspired theme of the package.
