What We Did

We’ve worked with Incognito for years, creating every aspect of the brand’s visual identity since launch – including its website, menus and marketing emails. So when the time came to launch the Incognito Spirit Company, we were the natural choice for brand continuity.
Drawing on the bar’s themes and concepts, we developed packaging and label designs for a new range of spirits, distilled locally; Spiced Rum, Golden Rum, Vodka, Vanilla Vodka, Dry Gin and Pink Gin.

Pure Imagination.

Each drink had a carefully crafted persona and illustrated visual style attached to it – presented by a roaring evolution of the brands’ feline mascot, Chadwick Smithfield. We painstakingly artworked and tested boxes and labels, to ensure excellent print quality, fit and finish.
These became a limited run of exclusive special editions – and a timely launch saw Incognito Spirits win the Global Vodka Masters Gold award in 2023.

Micro Animations.

Each product was given its own micro animation, to enhance the brand experience and add subtle motion. It’s an unexpected twist, and a nod to the in-person experience the brand became famous for.
The design assets were rolled out across physical product labels, advertising campaigns and over digital properties, to excellent reception.

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough”

A Unique Solution for a Unique Offering.

The Incognito brand is all about the whimsical, the fantastical and the playful. Bringing that to life on a 2D screen, and on flat packaging, with all the constraints of modern design – that was a challenge.
But we rose to it. And we gave the client something they’re beyond proud of. Working with such a unique and interesting brand has been one of the highlights of our work at Beyond, and the relationship we’ve fostered continues to go from strength to strength.

Incognito Bars and Incognito Spirit Company

“It’s been a total pleasure working with Beyond. They took something so hard to convey, and made it look effortless. The vision I had for Incognito was clear – and I’m so happy, so glad I picked Beyond to deliver it. They just got it. It looks and feels exactly right for us.”
