Getting Beck’s out of the wrong hands
In the summer of 2018, while Beck’s called for a label design contest, the media spreads a disturbing photo from Eastern Germany where right-wing protests turned violent. Unfortunately, in the middle of the photo: a Beck’s promo bottle.
How could we guarantee that Beck’s never gets into the wrong hands again?

We answered with the pre-release of a fan’s design label that literally translates to “Against brown bottles”. In Germany, “Braune” (Brown) is a synonym for right-extremists and “Flaschen” (Bottles) for idiot. Eventually reading: “Against right-wing idiots” – causing a stir on social media and in stores across the country with the specially designed bottle.
