BRAND LANUAGE BOLD AND DIRECT The brand language of Absolut was communicated successfully with the help of a series of aesthetically designed advertisement campaigns both in print and in electronic media. It was decided that there should be no label to hide the crystal clear contents. After much discussion and several prototypes the team came to the conclusion that some kind of colored lettering was required. Blue was decided upon as a the most visible and attractive color, the color that is still used today for the Absolut Vodka logo. Absolut is known for its simple, but sophisticated ads, a picture of the bottle accompanied by a witty caption, has broken advertising records year after year and has also captured the imagination of the general public.
VALUES THE ART OF PARTYING Absolut came to America and saw the creative night life. Spots like Studio 54 and others turned into a place where partying was a artform. This inspired the brand. Three Decades later absolute pushed the boundries of what to expect from a nightout. The brand evolved with it’s approch from parties with Artistic Edge to parties created by the artists themselves.

PRODUCT The Absolut Vodka flavors are made by blending the vodka with only natural flavors and no sugar is added. Absolut is as pure as vodka can be. Still, that purity has a certain taste; rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit (2009). Absolut Vodka currently comprises its products within many flavors, such as vanilla, raspberries, a peach, ruby red, pears, and mango. The bottle shape of the Absolut Vodka has made it one of the world's most iconic products and reinforces the brand's strong design heritage. It looked elegant, different, simple, and very Swedish, and was decided that there should be no label to hide the crystal clear liquid. Blue was decided upon as the most visible and elegant color for the Absolut Vodka logo. The flavor comes in a transparent bottle to show how pure and clear its vodka is.
