Description: With its bold flavours and mythical art, Igloo Beer has earned cult status. But in a world of short attention spans, we needed to turn slow-burn storytelling into an instant grab.

We created typographic posters that reimagined familiar idioms into catchy headlines. Inspired by the can art, we custom-illustrated blackletter with Alaskan tribal art. Using the motifs found on the cans, we turned each phrase into a visual tribute to the creature. The headline was supported with a dictionary-like meaning of the idiom to make it memorable.

One-Can Army, for the Hefeweizen, celebrated the lone wolf as the flavour that leads the pack solo. Can of the Hour, for the award-winning Belgian Ale, evoked the elevated, spotlight-stealing nature of both the kestrel and the flavour. Ladies’ Can, for Wit & Wisdom, used the fox as a metaphor, effortlessly cool, surprisingly layered, and quietly charismatic, just like a dream date. The poster captures the flavour quality and our mythic animal equally.

Each phrase became a character sketch, and each letter, a canvas of visual myth. These posters are fast-read legends, using typography as storytelling to make Igloo a can you couldn’t ignore.
