Farnham’s label design a finalist
Kona advertising and graphic design firm, Farnham Associates Marketing Solutions, was one of three finalists in the label design category at the third annual Global Bottled Water Congress held this September in Bergamo, Italy. The label was designed for Kona Deep, a desalinized deep sea drinking water product produced by Deep SeaWater International, located at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority.
More than two dozen label designs were submitted by companies from all over the world including the “big four” in bottled water: Nestle, Pepsi, Coke and Danone. First place went to Nestle for a label that incorporated a mini magazine. While not garnering first place, the Kona Deep design was praised by organizers for its originality and integration to the product.
