Sparkling Water Brand

Rio

Category

Beverages

Scope

Packaging, Packaging Design System

Outcome

Distinct Shelf Presence + Instant Variant Recognition

Challenge

Rio needed to stand apart in a sparkling water category that often leans clinical or minimal, while clearly communicating real functional benefits — zero calorie, zero sugar, added Vitamin C — without sacrificing the fun, indulgent feeling people expect from a flavored drink.

Solution

We built a bold, graffiti-style identity with a rounded wordmark and vibrant flavor-coded cans. Distinct illustrations and clear functional call-outs create instant recognition, while "Hydrate the Fun Way" unifies the playful, health-forward sparkling water range.
