Renewed Visual Identity of "Borjomi”
The Same "Borjomi," Now With New Packaging
Mineral water “Borjomi” updates its packaging. The brand with 135 years of history will gradually introduce its updated visual identity to both Georgian and export markets.
The new visual identity is inspired by the rich history of the brand. The main symbol of “Borjomi” – a deer is prominently featured on the updated packaging, appearing on both the front of the bottle and the center side of the label. The key elements that define “Borjomi” over the years, including the mountains of Borjomi, which together with the logotype, the deer and the buvette combined in one modern oval visual image, are even more emphasized. Additionally, the name is highlighted in both Georgian and English in the central part of the label. The green cap of “Borjomi” remained unchanged. The renewed packaging further emphasizes the premium nature of the brand.
British branding agency Osborne Pike worked on the redesign of the first Georgian mineral water “Borjomi”.
According to the company, the new packaging emphasizes the continuity and long history of “Borjomi”. At the same time, the updated visual identity gives the brand an opportunity to expand categories and retain a connection with the products in the portfolio, a vivid example of which is Borjomi Lemonade.

Creative sea, so Ad Black Sea
By the shores of the Pontus Sea in the southeastern region, the Greeks stumbled upon an exceptional oil reservoir. Thanks to its depth, this locale proved highly accommodating for seafaring vessels, which earned it the moniker "Bathus" in the annals of world nomenclature.
This propitious location owed much to the rich tapestry of culture that enveloped the historical body of Batumi. Colchian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, British...a veritable patchwork of influences.
The city's significance surged in the 19th century, when Caspian Sea oil made its inaugural journey to European shores. During this era, oil was a novelty that enthralled both common laborers and magnates alike. Batumi assumed the role of a gateway linking the Caucasus to the Western world.
As the years rolled on, ships yielded to self-propelled vessels, telegraph succumbed to the telephone and the Internet, and the globe seemingly contracted in size. However, Batumi retained its pivotal function. The era of Soviet isolation cast its shadow, yet today, Batumi is in the process of reclaiming its age-old character.
As the fervor of summer wanes, the city seems to settle into a reprieve, akin to a weary host after a bustling gathering. The sea takes on a velvety texture, and the sun adopts a gentle, airy disposition.
In this season, Batumi springs to life with a medley of festivals, for nothing adorns quaint, petite coastal towns quite like these splendid celebrations. Among them, Adblacksea stands tall, the region's preeminent advertising industry event. The creative scene has burgeoned to such an extent that a festival became an inevitable outcome.
As if this festival etched Georgia firmly onto the global creative map and boldly proclaimed, "My mission is to bridge the creative realms of this region with that of Europe." I shall assume the role of your host, for hospitality is my forte and, above all, what brings me immense joy.
