PLOD Orange, Lemon, Strawberry and Pineapple bottles with fruit-colored labels and drinks
01 / The brief

Make everyday feel
a little more generous.

The challenge

Create a welcoming juice brand that feels like part of a family table: easy to recognize, warm to hold and consistent wherever it appears.

The audience

Adults and families who enjoy simple shared rituals. The identity needs the warmth of a local producer and the clarity of a contemporary shelf presence.

The idea: PLOD

“Plod” means fruit or yield in Serbian. The short name connects the product to its source, while the rounded citrus fruit-and-leaf symbol turns growth into a friendly signature.

Brand voice

Warm. Direct. Optimistic. Short sentences and everyday language. Serbian slogan: “Dobar dan počinje plodom.” English campaign line: “Good days, bottled.”

Self-initiated concept developed for this portfolio with AI assistance. PLOD is an illustrative brand, not a commissioned client project. Product formulations, certifications and commercial results are not claimed.

02 / Moodboard & creative direction

Sun-ripened color.
Paper-soft warmth.

Citrus cross-sections suggest circular framing; a deep green anchors the mark; warm paper tones soften digital layouts. The direction favors generous spacing, rounded forms and a familiar table-side feeling.

Graphic moodboard combining citrus slices, warm cream, forest green, orange and yellow, with the phrases Rooted in nature and Made for sharing

An original graphic direction board: color, form, material cues and tone, rather than stock lifestyle photography.

03 / Logo system

One identity.
Light or dark.

The vector wordmark uses bold, open forms for visibility on a small label. A sliced citrus fruit with a leaf makes the meaning of Plod immediately visible. The complete mark reverses as a single unit, including its lettering and campaign line.

Keep clear space of at least the stem width of the P on all sides. Recommended minimum full-lockup width: 180 px digitally. For smaller applications, omit the slogan. Do not stretch, add shadows or place the mark over busy imagery.

Grounded. Bright. Balanced.

Bring a little brightness to the table. Pour, pause and enjoy the moment together.

Nimbus Sans is bundled with the portfolio; Georgia uses the visitor’s installed system font with a serif fallback. The logo is custom vector lettering, separate from the text fonts. Headlines: bold and compact. Body copy: regular, with generous line spacing.

06 / Packaging system

A label that belongs
in your hand.

Four PLOD flavor bottles with the revised citrus logo and matching drink colors

The cream label creates a stable reading area. Brand first, flavor second, supporting line last. Orange, lemon yellow, strawberry red and pineapple gold identify the four flavors. Each label carries its own small fruit illustration while the master logo stays the same.

Illustrative packaging mockup. A production label would additionally need verified ingredients, nutrition, allergens where applicable, storage instructions, producer details and barcode. This artwork is a design presentation.

09 / What connects the system

Consistency is
the main ingredient.

The name establishes the source. The logo makes it recognizable. The palette carries the mood. Type organizes the message. Packaging gives the identity a physical form, and motion extends the same language across screens.

This concept demonstrates a complete visual system and its applications. No sales uplift, user testing or client approval is implied.
