Now they sell energy drinks in limited edition bottles? What's next, deluxe toilet paper?

Not that they don't look good, but come on...

I wouldn't consider Ginger Ale an energy drink....but, anyway, those bottles are cool..more companies should make cool collectible containers. I know that there is an independent soda company here in the US that puts photos submitted by its customers on their bottles!

If you designed a bottle Henar, what would it look like?

Illithid Brain Juice... OK, that is cool. Geeky as hell, too.

Really pretty designs. It's like designs on book covers, food products, or anything for that matter....if it captures the eye, people will buy. Hmmmmmm.....I've just made up a slogan.

I've often thought some of my paintings would be perfect on a record album cover or a book cover but know nothing about marketing or how to go about it...or what company to trust that I would actually pay me royalties. You wouldn't believe how many times I've been asked to submit something but the company keeps the rights for any future use.

Yea, Jones Soda is a cool company..they really make interesting products.

@PW: Maybe you could investigate freelancing?

I have had an idea for a drink company that had cards, almost like trading cards, with drawings or art on them, attached to the bottle of the drink...kinda like making them more collectible.

It´s amazing how, making a product a "limited edition" can get an amazing rise in sales. I think people are attracted to new things/experiences, even if the actual product is exactly the same.

EasyD44, I actually had to design a wine bottle in Art School. Didn´t look too original, though.

I loved the design for Vinseum.

Yeaa..it is like Coke/Pepsi cans during the holidays...or if you have ever traveled, notice the difference in colors and designs for Coke cans around the world.

That is a creative design for the wine bottles...an idea I would play with could be using different shades of red or purple or green(color of grapes) and only using different shades of the same color.
