The Brief

Create a premium soda brand for the Australian market that feels elevated yet accessible—a modern essential for the cocktail cabinet and a healthier alternative to traditional soft drinks. The brand needed to translate across slim cans, 4-pack wraps, and 24-pack cartons, with flexibility for future flavour extensions.

The Design Response

Ben Galbraith Design developed the name, brand identity, and packaging system for Sodasmith—a clean, modern brand designed for impact. A modern colour palette and numerical system create bold shelf presence. A balance of sophistication and utility, Sodasmith is fast becoming a staple for bartenders and home mixologists alike.
