Cannabis Design Awards 2023
The story
The Cannabis Design Awards 2023 showcased a diverse range of styles, with cannabis branding and bold typography dominating the landscape. Projects like "Litty Bitty’s Edibles & Delectables Packaging" by Hugh McCormick Design Company and "Origin51 Logo Design" by OneTwo Media exemplified the trend towards minimalist yet impactful designs, often utilizing a stark contrast of deep blacks and vibrant reds. The emphasis on clean lines and straightforward messaging was evident across the board, with many designs opting for a streamlined aesthetic to communicate clarity and purpose within the cannabis space. Color palettes leaned heavily towards classic combinations, featuring crisp whites and deep blacks alongside warm accents of coral and muted grays. Notable works such as "Raise Your Vibe With Felhō" and "Door County Cannabis Co. Packaging" embraced these tones, creating a modern yet approachable feel. The year saw a strong inclination towards designs that balance sophistication with playfulness, reflecting a broader acceptance of cannabis culture. As brands continue to carve out their identities, the focus on cohesive branding and engaging visuals will likely remain a hallmark of this evolving industry.
