Seattle-based branding agency Mint designed these beer cans for Hilliard’s, a (what else?) local micro-brewery. The visual language manages to feel retro while avoiding what have become the clichés of craft brew packaging: Distressed type, illustrations of hops and barley, and bizarre names. The chevron motif and color palette are a refreshing change. The story behind the branding appears at FastCo.’s design blog, worth regular visits.
