You & Yours Branding
Posted byYou & Yours Distilling Co. is located in the East Village of sunny San Diego, California. They are a destination distillery, tasting room, event space and cocktail bar, complete with a cocktail program highlighting their signature craft spirits: Y&Y Vodka (a classic vodka) and Sunday Gin (a citrus-noted gin).
They were founded by Laura Johnson, who is one of a handful of female head distillers in the country. Y&Y is a direct result of Laura not being hired as a distiller in a male-dominated industry. So she created her own, and built it around the idea of bringing people together. Hint was tasked with creating the brand identity for You & Yours Distilling Co. and the packaging and branding for their two signature lines. The logo was custom drawn, a representation of their 100% craft distilled spirits. Laura describes You & Yours’ aesthetic as “approachable yet aspirational. I wanted it to be inviting and pleasing to the eye, yet still be a bit eclectic, relaxed yet sophisticated.”
The packaging reflects the authenticity of the brand. Each spirit was designed to be unique, drawing inspiration from their distinct ingredients. Sunday Gin: citrus-forward with notes of fresh florals and herbs. Y&Y Vodka: a blend of single-source distillates of corn, potato, and grape. The result was a visual system which allows for each spirit family to stand on its own while tying back to You & Yours Distilling Co. family.

There is a passion within artists at every level that fuels a never-ending pursuit of creativity and expression. The new Fender American Elite Series was born out of this same passion.

Fender Bassbreaker
Posted byHint partnered with Fender, Nate Morley Consulting, Dynamic Dynosaur and Dominic Cooley (Photography) to help create and produce the Fender Bassbreaker campaign. The campaign featured artists: Dave Navarro-Jane’s Addiction, Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus-Blink 182, Dave Keuning-The Killers, Jeff Oddie-Wolf Alice, Rob Ackroyd-Florence+The Machine, Phred Brown-Bruno Mars, Albert Hammond Jr., Simon Neil-Biffy Clyro.
Everyone who experiences the new Fender Bassbreaker amp describes it in a different way, using different words. But the Bassbreaker is so versatile, so innovative and so unique, that despite each person’s best efforts to define it, there are no words that can do it justice.
“Something too intense, extreme or unusual to describe is beyond words.”
“There Are No Words” incites curiosity and is an invitation for consumers to experience the amp for themselves. The message is authentic, (coming from artists and real musicians), versatile (it works in all languages and regions) and can easily be refreshed.
This Bassbreaker work has been lauded by Fender as the best campaign in the legendary brand’s history.
