    Old label on the left, new one on the right

    Local brewery Drake’s has re-designed their labels – for the better.

    The hodgepodge selection of typefaces on the old label (Memphis + Archer!) was cleaned up, the color palette much improved. The “INDEPENDENT” badge on the new label reminds me a lot of House Industries’ factory logo, but I am not bothered by it.

    The typeface used for the old DRAKE’S is probably Group Type’s Raleigh Gothic Condensed or a modified FB Agency.

    I have to admit I’m buying much more Drake’s than I did before. Drink Local!
