New Covent Garden Soups

Alongside Ziggurat Brands, Barry Patterson has worked on the rebranding of the New Covent Garden Soups range. Barry's style works perfectly with these all natural soups, his rich illustrations relishing the ingredients. Anna Rudenko from Popsop, the online brand magazine says "The new vivid and colorful design also provides the clearest range segmentation, making it easier for consumers to differentiate the products in five segments of the brand’s portfolio". Super job.
