Manhattan Furniture hasn’t had a new website for years and they felt it was time to give themselves a bit of an update so they came to The Brand Surgery. We recommend you refresh aspects of your brand every 2-3 years so we were very happy to help. The brand new website is due for launch in the next few weeks and everyone at Manhattan and The Brand Surgery are extremely excited about it.

The Brand Surgery has been designing away at the packaging for Proto Restaurant Groups new oil, ‘Costa Oil’ and it’s now nearly ready for it’s launch.

Proto Restaurant Group owner Andy Sparsis and his family have always been involved in producing high quality food and cuisine and over the last few years have been working hard to achieve European statorship for their land in Cyprus in order to produce ‘Costa Oil’ and as such the oil will be marketed here in the UK.

So here’s a little preview of some of the artwork we have been designing for the oil:

Costa's Liquid Gold Olive Oil

Proto Restaurant Group came to The Brand Surgery for this project as it is something very close to the heart of Andy Sparsis – the groups owner – and they needed a company they could trust to encapsulate the concept of the oil.

The Sparsis family believe the secret of the successful olive oil comes not only from the land, but from the centuries of people whom have devoted their lives to the nurturing and devotion to what they believe, and still believe in today and they wish you to enjoy this oil with your family and friends.

The Brand Surgery have worked closely with Proto on several other projects such as designing and developing their new website as well as continuous blogging as part of our successful SEO scheme so it seemed right for us to continue our fantastic working relationship through the birth of ‘Costa Oil’.

With the above said, we are looking forward to marketing DO A MADONNA and I am looking for speaking opportunities to launch it.

The Brand Surgery rates Benefit cosmetics packaging as the best cosmetic packaging by far!

OMG! We love Benefit cosmetics packaging! It’s not just fantastically sexy, it delivers what the packaging promises.

Okay, so we’ve been a bit slow updating our blog, the reason is that I have been celebrating my 40th birthday in true style, being Queen Victoria – I received two weeks of birthday celebrations. One of the many gorgeous birthday gifts I received was this Sexy Starlet cosmetic set by Benefit. Now, I have been mesmorised by the Benefit counter in Boots many times – the packaging design draws me in, and I find I just stare at it for yonkie yoodles. How I maintain self-control mystifies me. Or is it that I am determined not to be won over by packaging? I used to wonder if the product inside was as good as the packaging design promises.

FACT: Benefit cosmetics is truly as sexy as it’s packaging

Hooray! For once I have not been disappointed. Benefit cosmetics are as gorgeous as their packaging. The Foundation Faker is orgasmic – it feels lovely when you apply it – it beats my two ‘expensive’ foundations by miles. The CORALista blusher is to die for – the colour lights up my face – even at 40! And the BADgal lash mascara … Well I haven’t tried this yet, as I am using up an older mascara, but I may just have to be a BADgal and bin the old mascaras. Sorry landfill

What is it that makes Benefit packaging so sexy, irresistable and so god damn cute?

Maybe it’s the pink – we all know that The Brand Surgery love a strong dose of bright pink! Now, we constantly educate our clients to keep their branding consistent, yet Benefit packaging design is different on each product. How many different fonts can one brand include on their packaging? Their designers are breaking all the rules of good design – but the broken rules work so incredibly well. I get excited just by looking at the packaging, it hypotises me – it is irresistably retro – and I have now been converted into a 40 year old Benefit girl – that is a Benefit cosmetics girl – not a benefits girl!

The Brand Surgery ranking table has never looked so healthy. The only points lost were due to Benefit not stating whether the products were recyclable. Giving that most the Benefit products being made of card – we guess they can be recycled. If anyone at Benefit reads this – it would be good to have the recycling logo on the box to encourage people to recycle. Having said that, I can’t bring myself to throw away the packaging. I keep all the products in their cute, sexy little boxes Well done to everyone at Benefit!
