threebrand goes for gold at Pentawards

Oct. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- International creative branding and PR agency threebrand, based in Edinburgh, has scooped gold at the Pentawards; the prestigious worldwide packaging design awards.  

Members of the team involved in the project travelled to Paris for the glitzy ceremony, held at the Intercontinental Le Grand Hotel, last week (4th October).

threebrand’s work on a suite of iconic packaging for two products - Greenhook Ginsmiths American Dry Gin and Beach Plum Gin Liqueur - secured the award.

Launched in Brooklyn, New York in 2011, Greenhook Ginsmiths is new to the market, with the Beach Plum Gin Liqueur being the world’s first commercially released.

President of the Pentawards International Jury, Gerard Caron, said:

“The work around Greenhook Ginsmiths is elegant and subtle, with a perfect blend of strong and original branding.

“It combines tradition, with the typography, and modernity, with the flashy colours and the sensual glass bottle shape.

“Overall, Greenhook Ginsmiths is well deserved of a gold Pentaward – well done to all involved.”

threebrand’s ‘floating office’ – boat 1502U – is based on the Shore in Leith, which is known as Edinburgh’s creative district, due to its array of agencies and iconic scenery.

The agency specialises in helping clients create distinctive brands and boasts a range of clients – internationally, as well as UK-wide.

Fiona Scott, associate creative director for the award-winning project at threebrand, said:

“The Pentawards are renowned worldwide so to have been awarded a gold is fantastic news for us and it makes all the difference to collect the award as a team in the French capital.

“The story behind Greenhook was one that allowed us to create a distinctive and quirky brand look and feel, which was suited to the creator of the liquid, who had a passion for gin.

“The Greenhook range has received many compliments – as well as other awards – and this something we are extremely proud of.”
