Wim Delvoye has spent much of his illustrious art career transforming unused objects into incredible works of art. In his series, “Pneu” (French for tire) the artist carves intricate patterns into disused tires of different widths and textures. The resulting pieces come alive with floral and organic motifs which are cut into each tire’s surface.

Oh Beautiful Beer celebrates remarkable graphic design from the world of beer. The site is completely dedicated to showcasing beautiful beer branding, packaging, and graphical design. The following designs were collected from the site. Without really thinking about it, you would be surprised how much competition the brewing industry holds. Non-stop commercials encourage us to purchase ale from major players like Budweiser, Heineken, Corona, Guinness, Miller Light, and etc. Here is a quick look of the big dogs in United States;

• Anheuser-Busch InBev: Budweiser, Bud Light, Stella Artois, Brahma, Skol, Beck’s
• Heineken: Heineken
• SABMiller: Miller Lite
• Diageo: Guinness
• Grupo Modelo:  Corona

Their brand values play with billions of dollars, however little players aim at them on daily basis. When you are the small local brewing company, it’s hard to succeed with a low advertising budget. Every single day you are presented with challenges like expanding your reach, providing great taste, and an affordable price. All of which could fail automatically if the packaging is ugly.

When we buy beer we want it to please our eyes and stomach. Going the extra mile to provide a visual experience should be on every CEO’s agenda. Nobody want a bottle that says “Beer” on it. The background story, slogan, logo, and anything else a consumer should be aware off has to be presented. Explaining visually what the brand is about has to be done without forcing the drinker to visit the official website. Today we have a small showcase of remarkable graphic designs from the world of beer. The following designers had specific intentions on coming up with the final product. We hope these designs will inspire you and be worthy of bookmarking for future reference.

Bard’s

Bard’s is America’s first gluten-free beer, founded in 2005 by two home brewers with celiac disease. Given the unusual niche of their business, they knew it had to be marketed just right.

VS. Brewery

The idea I had was of a company based on historic rivalries. Each six pack of beer would contain two kinds of beer selected to mirror each side of the rivalry for three of each kind.

Full Sail Brewing

Full Sail Brewing began to experience significant sales declines. This was bad. Research revealed the brand had lost its relationship with consumers and no longer offered a relevant alternative to its competitors. This was even worse. Our solution was to accentuate Full Sail’s most differentiating qualities: their independent status, their location in the boardsport mecca of Hood River, and their general passion for life. New brand design drew on visual cues from the surf/skate/snow world, imbued with old-school heritage and craftsmanship. Labels and packaging included vintage postcard photos that brought the unique location of the brewery to life, and the brand’s voice expressed an “independent, employee-owned” vibe with equal parts dudespeak, brewer lingo and enlightened entrepreneurship.

Falcon Pilsener

German quality meets Swedish brewing craft with the new Falcon Pilsener.  NINE was briefed to incorporate the design associations that classic German pils bring, with clear reference to the tradition and heritage of the Falkenberg brewery. The solution is a classic beer design, using attributes from old Falcon promotion materials.

Columbus Brewing Company

When we first ran into brewmaster Eric Bean in 2006 at a local coffee shop, he had already been looking for us. He knew that Columbus Brewing Company’s beers were among the city’s best kept secrets, and wanted to relaunch the brand to increase sales and make a regional impact. He had seen our work in a national publication, and was eager to contact us. After a lot of hard work and a substantial amount of Eric’s product, Columbus Brewing and Element successfully launched a new brand. Within weeks of the new products hitting the shelves, sales skyrocketed. Two years and multiple brewery expansions later, consumers are still drinking the stuff faster than Eric can brew it.

Little Green Man Brewery

Founded out of a passion for UFO Folklore and amazing beer, Little Green Man is a small town brewery that has built quite a big reputation. Since 1993, Little green an has been committed to producing high octane ale that is truly out of this world.

Muskoka Brewery

A new design was created with a handcrafted, simple, and vintage feel to represent the brewery. All elements of the packaging were then completely re-designed, combining the new logo with unique illustrations and beautiful colours that would really pop on shelves. In addition the IPA was re-branded, introducing Mad Tom as a character that would add personality to the flavourful product.

Mike’s Premium Organic Beer

Work done at TGM Design. The new branding produced stunning results. In October 2009 Mike’s new brand won the BrewNZ Beer Awards Supreme Packaging Award, beating hundreds of national and international entries.

Þorsteinn Beer

This beer brand concept was born on a sunday night at school were we were supposed to make a brand for a micro-brewery. The name is traditional Icelandic name that could be loosely translated into “thirsty one”. The concept is to have one beer, 10 different bottle designs by 10 different designers. The design would be changed annually and could be put on beer glasses as well.

McLaren Vale Beer Company

Vale Ale was developed to position the beer from one of Australian’s premier wine regions as a completely new, contemporary and different brand to the category norm. To quickly get noticed, Vale Ale had to claim its own brand space immediately. It is now joined by Vale Dry and Vale Drk, and McLaren Vale Beer Company is the fastest growing beer company in Australia.

Fashion is one of the biggest industries for advertising on billboards, TV, Internet and pretty much anywhere else they can get their hands on to advertise. Can you blame them? Ladies and men worldwide are very into fashion and their designer brands, it’s such a huge growing market.

Everyone wants to look good these days, well OK I take that back – not everyone, but there is a majority that do appreciate luxury brands, matching them together with other items and the most important part, the price that comes along with. The only downside about buying expensive brands such as Hugo Boss, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and more, these certain designer brands are classified as “luxury” therefore come with a big price tag.

Ro Koster and Ad Kil Architects built this almost invisible bridge for crossing the defensive fortress in Halsteren, the Netherlands. The amazing sunken bridge sits within the water and slope surrounding the 17th Century Dutch fort and gives visitors a unique opportunity to walk trough parted waters like Moses.

The bridge was made from Accsys Technologies’ Accoya wood sheet pilling on either side with a hardwood deck and stairs in between. Accoya wood was chosen for its durability, stability and sustainable benefits and is constructed using a tongue and groove method.

Andreas Smetana is a famous photographer artist from Australia, this time featuring her face image art formed from the naked human composition combined with the shadow. High artistic creations are very attractive and looks real… see how she composed a set of human beings to form her face

Like a modern day Dr Frankenstein, Enrique Gomez De Molina creates hauntingly stunning hybrid sculptures made from the stuffed parts of dead animals.

But it is his beloved mythical creatures that could land the Miami artist in jail for up to five years and see him forking out $250,000 in fines.

De Molina uses the parts of once-living animals and merges them together to create strange beings, one example features the head of two swans on the body of a goat and another shows the head of a squirrel meshed with a crab.

The artist pleaded guilty to illegally importing parts from endangered species to make the unique pieces of art after his arrest in November, reports Miami New Times.

He smuggled in the parts, skins and remains, from whole cobras, pangolins, hornbills, and the skulls of babirusa and orangutans from areas all over the world including Bali, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and China.

According to the report, he is charged with possessing the skins of a Java kingfisher, collared kingfisher, bird of paradise, and juvenile hawk-eagle as well as the carcasses of a slow loris and a mouse deer, all from Indonesia.

The artist had not obtained the required permits to import the animal parts, and police claim De Molina knew what he was doing was illegal as he asked the people he bought them from to wrap them in carbon paper, according to the MN Times.

De Molina’s work was exhibited at the Scope Art Fair, one of the leading Art Basel Miami Beach satellite fairs, with two of his controversial pieces fetching a total of $100,000

He offers his pieces through galleries and on the internet for prices ranging up to $80,000.

The artist claims that he aimed to raise awareness with his work to the danger faced by a range of species, with his surreal pieces representing the dangers of genetic engineering and human intervention.

On a website showcasing his work he says: ‘The impossibility of my creatures brings me both joy and sadness at the same time.

The joy comes from seeing and experiencing the Fantasy of the work but that
is coupled with the sadness of the fact that we are destroying all of these beautiful things.’

De Molina‘s is due to appear in court for sentencing March 2.
