“The Kraken™ Black Spiced Rum is the newest offering from Proximo Spirits and weighs in at a legendary 94 proof. The Kraken™ is imported black rum from the Caribbean and blended with over 11 secret spices. The rum takes its name from the mythical sea beast which is said to have wreaked havoc with tall ships and rum running vessels throughout history.
While the smooth taste of The Kraken™ lends itself to be enjoyed as a sipping rum, it can also be enjoyed as a key ingredient in traditional cocktails like the Kraken™ & cola. For an interesting and new taste experience, try The Kraken™ with your favorite energy drink. The rick black color takes its hue from the mysterious ink that, as legend has, the Kraken covered its prey with during fierce battles at sea.
The Kraken’s proprietary bottle is a replica of a Victorian Rum bottle and features two handles – allowing for easy portability (as well as potability). The Kraken™ is now available at select restaurants, bars and retail stores nationwide.”
The Kraken was designed by London based Stranger & Stranger, who specialize in the Wine & Spirits category. (via)

I love this business card! Great concept and typography in the logo, clean design and cool color scheme. Though at the same time if this is actually a card for a deli should there be something more food themed? Or is the eye catching logo and effectiveness in communicating address and contact information all a card really needs? If it were an advertisement of some sort it would certainly need something to make the viewer want food…
Just some questions I was asking myself. Overall, I like it.

Wood Carvings by Gehard Demetz

Great sculpture by Gehard Demetz. The soft realism of the skin and facial features is contrasted wonderfully by the rougher, more stylized carving of the clothing. The cube shaped chunks of wood missing strategically throughout the piece give it an almost digital look reminiscent of a pixelated photo.
Demetz was born in 1972, in Bolzano, Italy. Currently he lives and works in Val Gardena.
