Brand by Name
— Christmas Gift
Every year we design a creative gift to say ‘thank you’ to clients, partners and friends, instead of a traditional Christmas card. The gift is designed to engage, inspire and showcase the creative ability of Brand by Name, in ways that sometimes can’t be done due to client project restrictions.
We aim to create something both beautiful and useful: a unique piece that displays our creative skills, and which has a practical use for the recipient.
Many of our clients have multiple contact points, so we aimed to include a little touch of individuality into each package with personalised cards.

summer cocktail recipes
For this year’s gift, we created a series of coasters featuring cocktail recipes from our favourite mixologists around the world. We designed a typographic ‘logo-like’ treatment for each of the recipe titles, combined with patterns inspired by memories of lazy summers relaxing on tartan picnic rugs.
attention to detail
The finished product is a delicate set of letterpress coasters, packed together with a personalised card (each recipient received their first initial) and finished with a bespoke mailing label. Even the postage stamps were chosen with care (all featuring vintage advertisements).
