Culture Pop

fruit-for-an-o wordmark on dewy cans

Culture Pop prints each probiotic soda on its own fully coloured 12 oz can (sky blue #a9cdf0, violet #7e6cc4, chartreuse #c9dc6a, tangerine #ef8a1e, pinks, metallic gold) and stamps the same black ink logo on every one: a small arched 'culture' over a giant lowercase 'p_p' whose missing 'o' is a cartoon fruit ringed by short sun-ray dashes. Type is an inky, slightly rough typewriter slab, and the flavour sits low in Western-style slab capitals in a contrasting colour with a small italic add-on ('& turmeric'). A top line splits the range: 'FIZZY & GUTSY' over 'soda' cans and a script 'slightly sweet' over 'sparkling' cans, which also scatter small fruit icons around the wrap.

Typography

Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.

The logo dominates the upper two-thirds: a small arched 'culture' over a very large 'p_p' with the fruit as the 'o'. 'soda' or 'sparkling' sits under it in the same face at about a third of the size, then the flavour in coloured Western slab capitals with a small italic add-on, then volume and calories in typewriter type at the base. A short top line sits above everything under the can shoulder.

Front Panel

Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.

A centred vertical stack printed full wrap on a single can colour, with the logo-and-fruit lockup as the focal point.

ZoneContent

Lower middle'soda' or 'sparkling', then the flavour name and italic add-on
BaseVolume, calories and plant-based note

Range System

Each flavour owns one can colour and one fruit drawing inside the logo, with the ink layout fixed; the top line and the word under the logo separate 'soda' (FIZZY & GUTSY) from 'sparkling' (slightly sweet) cans.

  • Ginger lemon & turmeric = sky blue + lemon slice + yellow flavour name
  • Grape = violet + grape bunch + red flavour name
  • Lemon lime = chartreuse + lime half + green flavour name
  • Orange mango & lime = tangerine + orange segment
  • Pink grapefruit & ginger = pink + grapefruit half
  • Raspberry lemonade = bubblegum pink + raspberry, sparkling
  • Apple = gold metallic + apple, sparkling
  • Black cherry artist edition = silver can with doodles

Back of Pack & Shelf

The back of the wrap repeats the can colour with a short typewriter paragraph about live probiotics and fermentation, the nutrition facts in a black-ruled box, ingredients, then barcode and recycling marks near the base.

  • Short story paragraph in the typewriter body face
  • US nutrition facts box in black rules on the can colour
  • Ingredient line naming the fruit juices and cultures
  • UPC barcode on a small white patch
  • Recycling, deposit and volume marks along the base

On shelf

Cans read as a run of flat saturated colours, each stamped with the same black 'p_p', so the logo shape repeats down the shelf while the colours do the flavour sorting.

Imagery

Bold cartoon fruit with thick black outlines and flat fills, framed by short radiating dashes like a sunburst; sparkling cans add small scattered fruit icons. Photography shows cans beaded with condensation on a flat backdrop matched to the can colour.

Guidelines

Do

  • Print each flavour on one saturated can colour and match the photo backdrop to it.
  • Replace the 'o' in the logo with a cartoon fruit ringed by short ray dashes.
  • Set the logo in a heavy lowercase typewriter slab with a slightly rough edge, in Stamp Black (#1d1a1a).
  • Arch the first word of the name over the giant second word at about 40% of its height.
  • Put the flavour in Western slab capitals at about 3.6% of can height in a colour that contrasts the can.
  • Use a top line to split sub-ranges: slab capitals for soda, red script for sparkling.
  • Keep volume and calories in spaced typewriter type at the base.

Don't

  • Don't use clean geometric or sans-serif type for the logo.
  • Don't move the logo or change its black ink between flavours.
  • Don't use photographic fruit on the can; keep it cartoon.
  • Don't mute the can colours into greyed pastels.
  • Don't add gradients or patterns behind the logo.
  • Don't scatter fruit icons on soda cans; they belong to the sparkling line.
