Sanchi: Visual storyteller and Creator of the Untamed World

A gin that doesn’t whisper. It calls.

A visual world shaped by mystery, flavour, and the thrill of the unknown.

Mission

To create a gin brand that captures the spirit of adventure, mystery, and bold self-expression. Designed for a new generation of curious drinkers. The goal was to craft a world that goes beyond flavour, inviting people into an experience that feels untamed in every sense.

Outcome

We named the brand, built its mythic universe, and designed packaging for three flavour variants. Each label features a striking, illustrated character and a visual language layered with cosmic symbolism, vibrant gradients, and mirrored symmetry; bringing flavour, storytelling, and visual drama together in one unforgettable bottle.

The Challenge

Grange Distillery set out to craft something rare. A gin that would stand apart in a crowded market, not by shouting louder, but by creating intrigue. The product was full of unexpected ingredients and stories, and the identity needed to reflect that. Our challenge was to design a brand that would feel like an experience from the first glance.

Our Approach

We began with a story. The world of Untamed was inspired by fortune tellers, celestial beings, and dreamlike rituals that blur the line between reality and imagination.

Naming

The word Untamed holds everything in place. It speaks to the wild nature of the flavours, the boldness of the drinker, and the refusal to play by anyone else’s rules.

Character Illustrations

Each flavour features a central figure. Surreal, powerful, and watching. These characters are drawn by hand and digitally refined with mirrored forms, gradient outlines, and celestial detail. They act as visual guardians of the flavour, each telling its own story through posture, palette, and energy.

Label System

We created a mirrored layout using symmetry and balance to echo mystic traditions. The design holds space for layered patterns, glowing gradients, and iconography tied to each character’s identity.

Colour and Type

Neon green anchors the visual language. It cuts through darkness, grounding each label in a shared voice. The secondary colours shift with the fruit- electric peach, blood red, deep mango. Typography brings contrast, pairing a classic serif with slick, glowing accents that feel both refined and charged.

Touchpoints

The brand lives across more than just the bottle. Posters, coasters, bar mats, and social templates extend the experience, turning every interaction into a moment of visual discovery.
