Designed by award-winning creative director Chris Chapman, Agua de Madre's new branding blends retro nostalgia with a modern, edgy twist. The goal was to design a multigenerational product that feels joyful, inclusive, and inspiring.
Visuals: The rebrand uses vibrant colors and nostalgic typefaces, paired with playful, overlapping "sticker" graphics to evoke childhood joy and a lively, soda-like feel. This approach bridges the drink's retro charm with a contemporary edge, making it stand out in the beverage market.
Logo and Typography: While modernizing the identity, Chapman retained the Madre's face illustration and the existing wordmark font as central elements. The typefaces combine a familiar, playful tone with a professional polish, reflecting both the drink's health benefits and its celebratory essence. 🌿
