CODO Design studio is the creative team behind Big Lug's new brand identity which is an homage to vintage visuals. The Indiana-based brewery's retro-themed beer labels are used to represent its four signature flavors and boast illustrated characters that are synonymous with each. These range from a king to a fox sporting a bowler hat.

CODO Design's unique branding project brings the company's passion for its beer to life and is whimsical and eye-catching for drinkers drawn to Instagram-friendly packaging.
