New Squared Bottle For Pernod Ricard's Fuel Vodka

The close cooperation between Paris-based drinks manufacturer Pernod Ricard and Cartils Branding & Packaging design consultants resulted in a new design for Fuel Vodka, now creating a revolutionary upgrade of its brand presentation. The new design needed to still reflect the core essence of the brand yet in a completely new way.

Fuel Vodka originally launched by Pernod Ricard India in August 2005 is positioned in the deluxe vodka segment. The brand was in need of renovation in order to gain even more competitiveness in one of the fastest growing categories in India.

The design solution created by Cartils started with a new clean and modern bottle that still maintains the innovative Fuel character. On a 3D level, a squared bottle with a bold FUEL embossing on each side has been designed to enhance a tactile experience and an up-to-date appearance; while on a 2D level we tried to bring the brand personality alive by increasing an energetic look and feel through the use of brighter colours and sleeker typefaces.

In order to be more competitive on-shelf, particularly important in the Indian market, the design focusses on high contrast of the logo. Additionally the bottle has a tall and confident outlook to support brand recognition.

Pernod, the second largest drinks company in the world after Guinness owner Diageo, relies on Asia for almost half of its recurring profits. Like its rivals, including smaller peer Remy Cointreau, it has been hurt by a government clampdown on luxury gifts in China, in addition to the slowdown in economic growth in the country. This resulted in Pernod Ricard's sales falling in the July to September period, figures released this week showed.
