Today we are publishing the latest design projects that landed in our editorial inbox during past month.

1. Parker Williams has redesigned the logo and packaging for the innovative food brand Green Gate.

2. Aesop Agency has created the identity for TOASTITS—a new London-based street-food outlet, the brainchild of young entrepreneur Phillie Kenyon Shutes. The challenge was to deliver an identity capturing both the artisanal ‘street’ nature of the venture and the exuberant personality of the originator.

4. JDO brand consultants have created design for a new premium hair care range for Unilever’s Dove in the US. Packs of the two collections—Dove Oxygen Moisture and Dove Pure Care Dry Oil—feature soft pastel hues that introduce the different need states. Shampoo products feature semi transparent bottles, while the conditioner products remain purely white.

Another JDO’s latest project is an anniversary re-design for the Norwegian soft drink brand Solo. The agency was tasked to develop a logo for the brand’s 80th anniversary that would ‘bring back’ three successful Solo flavours from the past.

Another recent project by the agency is a redesign of Rowse honey. It follows the original redesign of Rowse Honey by BrandOpus in 2010, and comes shortly after The Grocer revealed that Rowse has toppled Marmite as Britain’s best-selling spread.
