The idea

Hydration in the middle of the party.

At parties and festivals, almost everything sold to drink contains alcohol. Aquaholic was born as an alternative: still and sparkling water, plus waters flavoured like cocktails, with no alcohol. The idea is fun with responsibility.

Name and tagline

Refresh your fun!

The name plays on "alcoholic": aqua (water) + holic (addiction). The tagline takes the same idea into the communication.

Identity

A symbol made of party and water.

  • Symbol: combines electrolytes, a drop, sliced fruit, a glass and a straw.
  • Palette: one colour per product: still water, sparkling water and a shade for each cocktail (Sex on the Beach, Caipirinha, Piña Colada, Cosmopolitan and Daiquiri).
  • Typography: Juniper (headings), Germania (subheadings) and Roboto Slab (text).

The label as a system

One rule repeated across the whole range.

Every can follows the same structure: the shape of the cocktail, the fruit, the nutrition table and the disposal guidance, a yellow stripe that points to the metal recycling bin. The colour and flavour change; the rule stays.

  • A 3D event stand (8 × 8 × 6 m), with a ball pit, a giant can and a big screen.

Result

What the project delivered.

  • A complete brand, with a label system applied to seven products.
  • Final grade 10/10 in Integrated Project I and in Reading and Writing (the brand manifesto).

What this case is notAquaholic is a concept product. It was never made or sold, and the benefits described in the manifesto are part of the proposal, not of a real product.
