HAJOK Design wins Pentawards
HAJOK Design is delighted to receive an international award for its own gin! The unconventional design of the #stillthirsty gin combines a hand-crafted printing process with bold typography and bright neon colours. The Hamburg-based brand and packaging design agency has won bronze for its gin packaging at the renowned Pentawards design award. Founded in Brussels in 2007, Pentawards is the first competition that specializes in awarding prizes for outstanding packaging design, making it a leader in the industry.
After more than a quarter of a century of successful brand work for start-ups, national companies and international corporations, HAJOK Design came up with the idea of launching its own product: #stillthirsty gin. From naming to design, final artwork, printing and labelling, everything for this project was 100% in the hands of the HAJOK team. The gin was created with a lot of passion and craftsmanship in Hamburg's oldest distillery, Elmendorf. Inspired by the origins of the managing directors Madeleine Lindner and Klaus P. Hajok, rooibos from South Africa and pine needles from Baden-Württemberg were two of the 10 botanical ingredients.
"The name #stillthirsty describes how we are still thirsty for more," explains Klaus P. Hajok, agency founder. "We love to think outside the box and are bursting with creative ideas. We work hand-in-hand with a strong team spirit for our customers and offer all packaging design aspects under one roof. We really are delighted to have this very special project win an award from the Pentawards jury."
