MoD: Mood-led branding for functional beverages

The Brief

MoD is a functional sparkling beverage brand that helps people choose how they want to feel, not just what flavour they want to drink.
The concept pairs adaptogen-led benefits with everyday moods, creating a more human entry point into functional wellness.
The Idea
The identity turns mood into the organizing principle of the brand.
Each flavour is represented through a distinct combination of colour, expressive typography, and hand-drawn botanical illustration. Bold abstract shapes bring energy to the packaging, while the illustration system keeps the ingredients and natural cues visible.
The result is a range that feels playful and easy to navigate. Each can has its own personality, but every product remains recognizably MoD.

The System

Naming, colour, copy, and imagery work together to make the functional benefit feel intuitive. Instead of asking people to decode ingredients or wellness language, the brand starts with a familiar question: how do you want to feel today?
That idea creates a clear foundation for future flavours, campaigns, retail moments, and digital content.

Designed Around Everyday Moods

MoD brings a sense of energy and personality to a category that can often feel overly technical.
The visual system makes room for both clarity and expression, translating functional benefits into a brand experience people can understand at a glance.
