Bottling the design

11 Jan 2006 12:396 commentsBizLike
The Club Coca-Cola project was launched at Studio One in Cape Town last month as part of a global campaign that will see the world's young adults being introduced to a limited edition, contour shaped aluminium Coca-Cola Bottle.
This Club Coca-Cola bottle is printed with designs in ultraviolet ink from some of the world's leading creative agencies.

The functionality of the contoured, limited edition CLUB Coca-Cola bottles has been taken to the outer edges of global design by a team of five of the world's best design agencies, tagged the M5 (Magnificent 5) by the soft drink brand. The M5 consists of the Designers Republic (Europe); MK12 (North America); Lobo (South America); Caviar (Asia) and Rex & Tennant McKay (Africa).

The common theme of "optimism" and "a better world" was the basis with which these designers started their creative development - key to brand Coca-Cola's identity.

BlueCasting mobile technology enabled partygoers at the launch to instantly download and view a 30 second video clip that was created for Lovebeing, the first design to be launched in South Africa.

South Africa's trend setters and socialites can expect to see the first edition of the Club Coca-Cola series (LoveBeing, produced by Designers Republic), in Cape Town's premium clubs from early January.

Durban and Johannesburg will be launching the next design - Lobo - in February 2006.

Finaly-
Coca cola has more than enough money to do something like this every 6 months, give their designers some freedom Posted on 26 Jan 2006 12:19

economic terrorism-
another attempt by an economic terrorist company at feeding the money of those that cannot/should not afford their product, direct into the corporate mouth!

Why dont they rather utilise some of the trillions they have made over the decades to easing some of the suffering they have caused....people do not need Coke...they need water and nutrition.

Brand building could be seen in a whole new light if it where seen to actually be doing something positive for everyone. Instead the veil of Marketing/Design is used to cover up yet another pathetic attempt to keep fleecing the consumer and making corporate profit... Posted on 31 Jan 2006 08:02

Slim and sad-
Right... shouldn't you be giving your strong point of view in some nutrition, or environmental awareness discussion?!?!? This is marketing, this is design, business.... Get real.... Drink Coke! : ) Posted on 13 Feb 2006 11:02
dispite the politics-
dispite the politics.it kinda brings art to the people that cant go to a museum one can reach out and explore the unimaginable.it must seem low in comparison to the museum but it does broaden the artist view.in how other artist or designers come up with funky ideas. they might use it as a steping stone???? and i think coca cola is larger enough with really more than billions to help the needy too.anyway we dont want graffiti all over the walls and i thought just came to me how does this bottle effect the enviro ment?
