Enter the February Contest
February 13, 2008
At the intersection of award winning graphic design and award winning chocolate (already this is the best sentence I’ve ever written) lies Candinas; a HOW magazine Perfect 10 award winner of unique design and one of Consumer Reports’ top picks for chocolate. Does good design really make for better tasting chocolate? Find out for yourself — enter this month’s contest by leaving a comment below. I’m giving away a 25 piece box to the lucky winner. Mention a food packaging design that you really like and I’ll enter you twice.
The contest ends at 5pm EST Wednesday, February 20th. Good luck!

I am really liking the way gum is now being packaged, with little flip top boxes and the gum in more compact shapes.

I’ve noticed that, too, Viclen. A vast improvement for gum.
You’re entered two times. Thanks for commenting!

I like the graphics on the Vosges Haut Chocolate bars. It helps that I also like most of the chocolate contained therein. Except the bacon one. That’s just weird. I like bacon and I looooove chocolate. The two together? Not so much.

I am, of course, always up for chocolate.
I can’t find the one I really like online, because it was a small but very exclusive store in Antwerp in which it was hard to tell where the packaging left off and the chocolate experience began. However, in stores locally, I favor the packaging by Green and Black. The chocolate’s not bad either!

I won the last contest, so I think I’m out of this one.. but I will weigh in my 2 cents for Vitamin Water, I actually think their simple-ish label, with solid colors and white is pretty effective.

I’ll come out of blog stalkerdom to say that I’ve always loved the Jones Soda design. Way back when I first saw them in Alaska in 1999, I was totally sucked in by the brilliant colors of the beverage peeking out of a very dull array of the usual sodas. The neverending variety of label photos is also terrific.

Tina and Beth, thanks for your comment, and for entering. I agree with both of you about the product designs you chose. Tina, I don’t have so many commenters that I can afford to shut out a previous winner. You’re both in for two!
