Last week we had the honour of receiving a prestigious Gold Award at Ermis Awards for our packaging design for Koryfo Beer 🏆✨
We’re truly thrilled and overwhelmed with joy.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the trust and positive input from our friends at Corfu Beer, Spyros Kaloudis, and Spiros Chondrogiannis, who believed in our work from day one.

Most importantly, this project would never have come to life without the creative mastery of mavrikakis, whose immense talent translated the client’s vision flawlessly.

And of course, a huge thank you to our friend at , who brought the product to life with her outstanding 3D visualisation skills.

Last but not least, heartfelt thanks to the team at Arvanitis Labels for their patience and craftsmanship while putting up with all our quirks 😄

To many more! 🥂

OROMIA COFFEE ROASTERS branding and packaging draws deep inspiration from the origins of coffee culture in Ethiopia, particularly the Oromia region which is widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee. The logotype is a minimal, geometric interpretation of the sacred Oda tree, under which the Oromo people have historically gathered for community meetings, rituals, and governance. Packaging illustrations showcase stylized local animals from the Oromo region, reimagined through a geometric lens that bridges African heritage with visual cues from classic European and Italian coffee traditions.

KORYFO is a premium lager from Corfu, named after the island’s medieval name “Κορυφώ,” inspired by its twin peaks that once guided sailors. The brand reflects Corfu’s heritage through story-driven design.
The logotype blends modern engraving with elements from the island’s two iconic fortresses, using flared serifs for a refined yet historic feel. Packaging features vintage Corfu town art, bold travel-inspired typography, and gold foil accents.

KORYFO is a premium lager brewed on the island of Corfu, named after its medieval name “Κορυφώ” — a nod to the twin peaks that sailors first saw as they neared the island. This historical reference shaped a brand that reflects the island’s character through thoughtful, story-driven design.

Stratis Vineyards is a boutique winery and vineyard situated on the Greek island of Andros. Unlike the grandeur of the island's capital, the winery is located in the rugged southern region, characterized by a labyrinth of dry-stone field walls that delineate parcels of land among various owners. These unique Bronze Age walls meander through the entire landscape, symbolizing the islanders' deep-rooted connection to their land and serving as a vital component of their cultural heritage. Our design philosophy aimed to reflect these distinctive features surrounding the vineyard. The logotype draws inspiration from the patterns of these ancient walls while also embodying the abstract form of a wine glass, symbolizing the harmonious blend of tradition and artistry. Similarly, the labels have been crafted with this approach in mind, incorporating elements from the region's iconic schist stone buildings to create a cohesive visual identity.

Kyclus, a range of beers created for Kykao Brewery, draws inspiration from the vibrant world of electronic music and psychedelic hallucinations. The visual identity captures the pulsating energy of underground electronic music festivals, with bold, electric color schemes and intricate, swirling patterns that evoke a sense of movement and rhythm. The packaging features abstract, trippy designs that play with perception, reflecting the mind-bending experience of both the music and intense flavors of sour fruited beer. The result is an eye-catching, modern design that connects with a youthful, adventurous audience, celebrating creativity and sensory exploration.
