Ideation

It all began with the creation of the "M," featuring intricate vines weaving through the diagonal stroke of the letter. Our founder first saw the hidden image of a woman within the grapes and vines, but we knew we needed to make her more recognisable.

That's when we turned to our other sketch, featuring a beautifully drawn drop cap letter, and realised we could merge the two designs to create something truly unique. We considered multiple designs, and after thoughtful deliberation, we chose the one that felt the most distinctive and unforgettable. However, we knew that we still had work to do to perfect it.

Through careful consideration we landed on the final design. We wanted something that would stand the test of time and truly capture the essence of our brand. The intricate details and hidden image make it truly unique, while the elegant monogram and classic typeface give it a timeless feel.






Label Design

A significant challenge in designing Ojai Mountain's wine labels was to maintain a luxurious and simple style that harmonizes with the brand's high-end image while ensuring effortless differentiation between Red, White, and Syrah vintages when displayed together in private collections and cellars.
