Hive Hard Seltzer

A hard seltzer brand we designed in 2019, from identity to packaging to website. The brand closed during the pandemic before it reached shelves.

THE CHALLENGE
Hard seltzer was taking off, and a lot of the category looked the same: white cans, a fruit name and an ABV. Hive needed to stand apart from the big players without losing the light, clean cues people expect from a seltzer.
THE OUTCOME
A bright, playful identity built around the hive: a bold honeycomb mark, flavor-led color, and a line with a wink, “It'll give you a buzzzz.” A can you'd notice in a cooler full of white ones.
