Green Captain
Green Captain is a branding and packaging design for traditional products from Sipan Island in Croatia. The brand icon merges the shape of a leaf with a hidden ship. The icon refers to the founder, a former tanker captain who now cultivates traditional products on the island. Captain motifs appear across the range, with suit symbols on olive oil bottles and ship icons on wine bottles. Carob packaging reflects the natural and architectural heritage of Sipan. Fedrigoni paper and foils are used, with modern printing for clear detail and strong color.
