The logo embodies the concept of timekeeping, drawing inspiration from ancient methods of tracking time using the sun and shadows. The design captures the essence of "Indian Standard Time," where time flows freely and embraces the Indian culture's laid-back approach to punctuality. The unisex font selection ensures an inclusive appeal to our
diverse audience.

Numerous logo sketches were explored, each emphasizing the playfulness of time and shadows. The design team experimented with various creative concepts while keeping in mind the essence of the brand. Shadows, clocks, and
sun-inspired elements were incorporated into the logo options.

The mood board sets the tone for the brand. Targeting educated individuals aged 25-35 with disposable incomes, the mood board reflects a contemporary and intelligent vibe. The focus on health-conscious choices is evident, and the transparent colour palette symbolizes the clean and refreshing nature of hard seltzers. The language used is relaxed, approachable, and sprinkled with humor, reflecting the brand's easy-going nature. The key brand tagline, "Any time is a good time," encourages consumers to enjoy "Indian Standard Time" without constraints.

The label design showcases the first two flavors: Lime and Grapefruit. A bold geometric display logo stands out, accompanied by a light gradient patch that enhances the flavor's vibrancy. The IST logo takes center stage, bursting with colors that represent the brand's vibrant personality. Flavor illustrations and names are prominently featured to help consumers identify their preferred taste.
