Ein abenteuerlicher Start in den Sommer… 17. July 2024 ‐ Movies

Pünktlich zum Sommerbeginn freut sich die Störtebeker Braumanufaktur, das "Sommer-Wit" vorzustellen – eine von vier neuen Biersorten für jede Jahreszeit.

Das Kampagne-Key-Visual, wurde erstmals mit Unterstützung von AI umgesetzt. Der Filmdreh fand an den wunderschönen Stränden von Zingst statt. Die Produktneueinführung wird durch eine bundesweite digitale out-of-home-Kampagne, eine starke Präsenz in den sozialen Medien sowie durch Anzeigen und digitale Ads begleitet.

Mit dem Sortenkompass auf Kurs zum passenden Störtebeker 29. November 2023 ‐ UI/UX-Design

Mit dem „Störtebeker Sortenkompass“ begeben sich Bierliebhaber*innen auf eine Reise in die Welt der Bieraromen – und zu ihrer liebsten Geschmacksrichtung. Perfekt für alle, die sich zwischen Ale, Porter, Lager und Pils schon mal verirren. Unter dem Motto „Finde dein Störtebeker“ hat wertmarke einen bunten Kompass entwickelt, in dem jede Farbe ein Störtebeker-Bier widerspiegelt. Entweder über Multiple-Choice-Fragen oder intuitiv können sich Kund*innen im Störtebeker Brauereimarkt mit der Navigierungshilfe über ein iPad vor Ort oder ihr eigenes Smartphone direkt zu ihrem (neuen) Lieblingsbier führen lassen. Noch befindet sich der Kompass in der Beta-Phase, nach Abschluss der Testzeit soll er in die gesamte Marken-Kommunikation integriert werden. Damit zukünftig kein Störtebeker-Fan mehr auf dem Trockenen sitzt.

Bio-Biergenuss aus dem hohen Norden 01. November 2023 ‐ Packaging

Ein erfrischendes Prost mit der grünen Flasche – dem neuen Stralsunder BIO-PILS. Mit diesem Bier lässt sich nicht nur der Moment mit Freund*innen einfangen, sondern auch die Kraft der Natur, denn die ist in den Zutaten enthalten. Höchste Qualität sowie Nachhaltigkeit stehen hier an erster Stelle. Genau das beschreibt der Name „BIO-PILS“ klar und ohne Umwege. Ebenso reduziert und bewusst plakativ hat wertmarke den Look der neuen Flaschen designt.

Ein Corporate Design, das den Fokus aufs Wesentliche lenkt 18. October 2023 ‐ Corporate Design

In Privatleben, Beruf sowie Gesundheit das volle Potenzial entwickeln – dabei hilft die Life, Business und Health Coachin Dr. Kirsten Schlömer ihren Klient*innen. Wertmarke hat ihr dafür ein gelungenes Corporate Design kreiert: Die Icons für die drei Säulen ihrer Arbeit sind bewusst klar und reduziert gehalten, die Farbe Petrol lenkt das Auge auf den empathischen Gesamtauftritt der Marke. Denn die beruhigende Wirkung der Kolorierung spiegelt ebenso die Klarheit und Leichtigkeit des Coachings wider wie auch das Logo und der Logoschriftzug.

Meilenstein im Störtebeker Whisky Crowdfunding 04. October 2023 ‐ Corporate Design

100.000 € in nur zwei Wochen sammeln – das war das Ziel der ersten Stufe der wertmarke-Kommunikationsstrategie für die Crowdfunding-Kampagne von Störtebeker Whisky. Über personalisierte Mailings, Website, Social Media und an den Standorten wurde die bestehende Störtebeker Whisky-Community auf die Kampagne aufmerksam gemacht – und hat mit 260.000 € die benötigte Summe mehr als verdoppelt. Über einen Film und ein Störtebeker-Markenportrait wurden in der zweiten Stufe Investor*innen auf der Plattform www.invesdor.de angesprochen, und hier war das Ergebnis noch beeindruckender: Nach nur vier Stunden war die Zielsumme von 500.000 € erreicht.

Hi, Honey: der neue Whisky-Likör von Störtebeker 19. July 2023 ‐ Packaging

Neben den klassischen Whiskysorten lockt nun auch eine süße Likör-Variante ‒ nicht zu übersehen durch ihre leuchtend-gelbe Verpackung im Sechskant-Look. Die Natur stand Pate, als wertmarke das Packaging in Wabenform entwickelte, das den Growler zuverlässig schützt. Geringes Gewicht und höchste Stabilität zeichnen die Kartonage aus, die sich angelehnt an die Wabenbauten der Bienen spielend leicht stapeln lässt. Der Growler selbst steht der Verpackung in seiner Signalwirkung in nichts nach. Auch er sticht durch die gelbe Farbe sofort ins Auge und vermittelt dank einer umlaufenden Wabenstruktur und einer stilisierten Biene unmissverständlich, welch aromatische Köstlichkeit auf den Genießer wartet.

Ein Designerkleid für die Kleinsten 03. May 2023 ‐ Corporate Design

Aller guten Dinge sind drei: Das gilt ganz besonders für die Brennmeister-Edition von Störtebeker. In einem quadratischen Karton warten drei Mini-Growler darauf, entdeckt und geöffnet zu werden. Die Form der 0,2-Liter-Henkel-Flaschen gleicht der des großen Bruders bis ins Detail. Zu den Sorten Klassik und Limited gesellt sich in der Brennmeister-Edition ein Whisky-Neuling, für den wertmarke eine eigene Verpackung kreierte. Analog zum großen K und dem stilisierten Fass der beiden Whisky-Weggefährten ziert eine stilisierte Brennblase die Flasche des "New Make". Die Umverpackung des Kartons gibt einen eindeutigen Hinweis auf den Inhalt. Vor der rauen Ostseeküste in Schwarz-weiß trotzen die Mini-Whiskys in kräftigen Farben Wind und Wetter. Der Fokus wurde auf den Innenseiten auf das Thema „Holz“ gerichtet, das diese Produkte in Holzfässern aus der heimischen Küsteneiche gelagert wurden.

Unternehmenswerte sichtbar machen 16. March 2023 ‐ Corporate Design

Die persönlichen Werte immer vor Augen haben ‒ das gelingt leichter, wenn sie ein Profi gekonnt in Szene setzt. Zusammen mit der Unternehmensberatung 7e Vision & Partner begleitet wertmarke seit 12 Monaten den Wertfindungsprozess der Störtebeker Braumanufaktur. Das Ergebnis sind sieben Unternehmenswerte, für die das Kreativteam ein plakatives Corporate-Design entwickelt. In Schwarz auf weithin sichtbarem gelben Grund erscheinen die neuen Credos der Braumanufaktur an exponierten Orten, im neu konzipierten Intranet und auf weiteren Kommunikationsmitteln ‒ ein Farbcode, der an die Farbe des Bieres erinnert und bestens mit der Markenfarbe Rot harmoniert. Sämtliche Botschaften folgen dem Motto "Wir leben S" und schaffen visuelle Ankerpunkte auf dem Weg zu einer neuen Unternehmenskultur.

Frischer Wind im Störtebeker-Marketing 26. January 2023 ‐ Corporate Design

Eigenverantwortlich handeln, offen kommunizieren und Nachhaltigkeit fördern: Die neuen Unternehmenswerte stoßen tiefgreifende Veränderungen im Unternehmen an und halten auch in die Marketing-Abteilung der Störtebeker Braumanufaktur Einzug. Seit 6 Monaten begleitet wertmarke mit regelmässigen Workshops und Coaching-Sessions diesen Wandel und bereitet das Team auf die zukünftige, selbstorganisierte Struktur vor. Ab Januar wird der Change-Prozess zusätzlich von den Münchener Organisationsentwicklern Manemo über weitere 6 Monate unterstützt. Ziel ist es, sich innerhalb der Abteilung von einer hierarchischen Struktur zu verabschieden ‒ zugunsten eines dynamischen, selbstverantwortlich agierenden Teams, das die Markenwerte authentisch vermittelt, seinen Kernkompetenzen vertraut und digitale Tools effizient einsetzt.

Strahlender Jubiläumsauftritt für die Elphi 19. January 2023 - Packaging Design

5 Jahre wird die Elphi nun schon geliebt und bewundert. Das muss gefeiert werden. Mit einer limitierten Whisky-Jubiläums-Edition, für die wertmarke ein ungewöhnliches Packaging-Konzept entwickelte. Die Verpackung spiegelt die Architektur des Konzerthauses in abstrahierter Form wider. Die transluzente Abdeckung, die die schwungvolle Form der Elbphilharmonie zitiert, kann mit einer LED-Leuchte wirkungsvoll illumiert werden. Unter der Hülle aus recyceltem Kunststoff erahnt man den Jubiläumsgrowler mit seinem Dekor aus gerasterten Punkten, das sich an die Verglasung der Elbphilharmoie anlehnt. Es bildet den Hintergrund für das Jubiläumslogo in Form der Konzerthaus-Silhouette, die eine große 5 ziert. Ein Erlebnis zum Mitnehmen und genießen.

Biergenuss von der hellblauen Sorte 01. June 2022 ‐ Movies

Endlich Hell im Norden – unter diesem Motto kreiert wertmarke eine multimedial angelegte Kampagne für die neue Biersorte „Nordisch-Hell“ aus dem Hause Störtebeker. Mit Plakaten, Filmen, einem Funk-Spot und einer in-App-Kampagne schürt das wertmarke-Team die Vorfreude auf das neue, leichte Sommerbier. Das strahlende Blau eines Sommerhimmels prägt das Design der neuen Bier-Sorte. Als Basisfarbe des Etiketts kontrastiert es wirkungsvoll mit den Bierkisten in Treibholzoptik. Auch die blaue Banderole entfaltet auf der goldbraunen Glasflasche die volle Leuchtkraft. Einfach in der Sonne sitzen und ein kühles Helles genießen – dank der gebrandeten blauen Liegestühle, den passenden T-Shirts und Baseball-Kappen motiviert das Motiv der Plakate zum Nachahmen und Entspannen.

Design bridge 06. April 2022 ‐ Interior Design

In the Störtebeker brewery inn in the Hanseatic city of Greifswald, a long history meets a forward-looking concept. With a great deal of sensitivity, wertmarke, in cooperation with formwaende, succeeds in interpreting the liaison between old and new visually and spatially. Thanks to a large opening and a connecting interior, two neighboring historic houses have been transformed into a single design entity. A bridging that is also reflected in the furniture, which was preserved and supplemented with modern elements. The materials used make the essence of the Störtebeker brand tangible. Rough oak wood corresponds with the rich shine of genuine leather and wall design with typical brand elements, so that everyone understands: The art of brewing is at home here.

The way of the whisky 21. February 2022 ‐ Interior Design

Whisky is a world view. One that wertmarke effectively stages at the Störtebeker distillery on the Mönchgut peninsula. Behind the time-honored walls, a brand world was created that exudes honesty and authenticity. Historical elements meet modern design here. Native materials such as flamed oak from the coast paired with copper accents create inviting spaces that give visitors insights into the art of distillation and views of the landscape. The space opens with an impressive metal gate in the shape of a wooden barrel. A path lined with select raw materials leads to the distillery's cellar, where individual whiskey recipes mature in personalized barrels.

Live tasting as an online adventure 07. February 2022 ‐ UI/UX-Design

Digitally toast with exclusive craft beers? That's possible. Thanks to a virtual presence that wertmarke developed especially for Störtebeker online tastings. At www.abenteuerreise.live, the famous cog welcomes the beer connoisseur. Just a few clicks and the well-stocked adventure box in seafaring look makes its way to the beer lover in time for the monthly livestream. How an online tasting succeeds, wertmarke illustrates in a few concise icons. Directed by the design agency, beer sommelier world champion Elisa Raus accompanies the adventurous journey, flanked by illustrious guests and accompanied by film. Together with renowned colleagues, she answers questions via live chat and brings the brewery atmosphere directly into the house.

Störtebeker Live

Störtebeker goes on the air 31. January 2021 ‐ Movies

Anyone who talks out of the sewing box, or rather out of the brewery, finds many listeners. So what could be more obvious than to let the Störtebeker staff speak to the fan community via its own online TV channel? In order to whet the appetite for the new format on the subject of the art of brewing, wertmarke created the digital interface & on-air design for the channel of STÖRTEBEKER LIVE in harmony with the entire Störtebeker corporate design. The visual prelude is a trailer, which, in addition to the brand, puts the people behind it in the limelight, who in the course of the TV project develop from real beer connoisseurs to agile presenters. When the TV events will take place and what they will be about is revealed in the teaser spots designed by wertmarke, which precede the broadcast date on social media with a waving red-and-white flag.

Natur Radler Kiste

Vintage look with flair 21. January 2021 ‐ Packaging

The natural origin and authenticity of the beachcomber NATUR RADLER is not only tasted - it is also seen and felt. In perfect harmony with the Störtebeker beer crate, wertmarke has given the transport box of its fresh-fruity brother a hearty partner look. The light-colored Natur Radler crate looks like it was made of driftwood, and thanks to its wooden structure, it is easy to identify it with the brewery from Stralsund. The deeply embossed lettering and stamp of origin then provide final clarity and three colored stickers the necessary label. They bring at first glance to the right taste and without further ado to the desired box.

Bay of Binz: Two Baltic Sea faces visually united 14. January 2021 ‐ Corporate Design

Binz Bay is flying the flag thanks to wertmarke. In the deep petrol of the Baltic Sea, it advertises the Rügen attractions Binz and Prora visibly from afar and visually combines the two different brands. The logo takes up the idea of a stylized flag. The heart-shaped cloud stands for picturesque Binz, the double wave for the wide beaches in Prora. Combined, the two icons represent Binz Bay as a concise umbrella brand. The logos, along with fonts, colors, visual language and many other design elements, are the result of an 18-month branding process. Via the innovative scrolly-telling map, the guest travels the region online. A new way to discover Rügen already at home.

Ebbe & Flut

Inspired concept for a new water 13. January 2021 ‐ Packaging

One drop is the centerpiece of the campaign wertmarke is developing for the new, sustainable water brand "Ebbe & Flut" from Störtebeker. The natural thirst quencher in returnable glass bottles is available exclusively in the Stralsund region. The cool blue and white color of the bottles, the web, and the POS all refer to the far north as the place of origin of the water. According to the packaging label, by drinking the still or raw variant, the customer becomes a supporter of environmental projects and certainly curious. On the website, visitors experience in moving images what lies behind the new brand. Watercolor scenes paint a picture of the journey of water and show that a small drop can achieve great things.

Tiffin Loop

The infinitely environmentally friendly food packaging 18. August 2020 ‐ Corporate Design

Under the name TIFFIN LOOP, ECO Brotbox Berlin, together with wertmarke and other supporters, is launching a nationwide initiative that promises plastic-free transport of your favorite food from the restaurant to your home or work. The core of the idea is a plastic-free reusable stainless steel box with handle, which is available for a deposit at all restaurants that join the initiative. To refer to the permanent use of the new take-away packaging, wertmarke transforms the double-o in the brand name into an infinity sign, which forms the core of the reduced, striking logo design. An important component of the logo is the claim "#Plastic-free takeaway", which communicates the USP of TIFFIN LOOP and is complemented by the emotional slogan "Just taste. No waste."

Oliver Thomas

Experimental ideas 01. November 2019 ‐ Corporate Design

Images rise, thoughts form and evaporate, making room for new ideas that become reality: Following the associative working method of product and communication designer Oliver Thomas, wertmarke established the thought bubble as a flexible icon that characterizes both the logo and the website. The thought bubbles form frames through which visitors can take a look at the designer's projects. T for Thomas. The name stands for visionary spatial concepts and is part of the logo in the form of the letter "T". And because the designer's creations are not only resource-saving and bold, but sometimes also flashy, wertmarke takes these qualities into account with an intensely bright color scheme that divides the website and exudes pure energy.

From organic beer mix to "Natur Radler": the new name complements the STRANDRÄUBER logo in a handwritten look and promises natural ingredients paired with craft beer quality. With the Key-Visual, a raft with steep coast in the background, the South German "Radler" receives a North German face, which shapes the entire appearance of the brand - from corporate design to packaging to website and POS design. In view of the variety of tastes, wertmarke offers orientation through seal labels in three different colours and fruit icons, which are repeated in the packaging design. All in white, the vintage look of the packaging and design reflects the freshness of the product and makes the hearts of beach robbers beat faster.

Deutsche Hobbybraumeisterschaft 2018

Visual appearance for a nationwide beer event 07. February 2019 ‐ Corporate Design

The logo in the national colours leaves no doubt: Störtebeker is looking for the best hobby brewer - nationwide. The stylized hop cone not only adorns the website, banners and print products, but also the neck of the bottle of the winning beer, which is bottled in the brewery and marketed throughout Germany. Side by side as independent brands, the red flag and the hop cone advertise for Germany's beer connoisseurs and establish Störtebeker as the brewery that promotes newcomers and expands the taste spectrum. A website specially designed for the event and a documentary film bring the championship to life and shorten the time to the next round.

Elphilharmonie-Edition gewinnt POPAI-Award 2018

Sustainable design wins! 17. June 2018 ‐ Packaging

The reduced-scale image of the Elbphilharmonie, which wertmarke created as packaging for the Störtebeker Elbphilharmonie Editions, convinces with its sense of form, functionality and the idea of sustainability. For this reason, the jury of the POPAI D-A-CH Awards awarded the design agency gold in the packaging category. The packaging, which is predominantly made of recycled materials, represents love for the environment paired with a passion for good design, from the cardboard base to the translucent top and the fibre cellulose inlay. The highlight: With an LED light, the Miniatur-Elbphilharmonie can be transformed into a stylish lamp.

Hotel Residence Klosterpforte

Redesign for a traditional company 11. June 2018 ‐ Corporate Design

22 years after the logo was designed, wertmarke was commissioned to reposition the "Hotel Klosterpforte" brand and to emphasise its superior character both graphically and visually. As the epitome of value, a warm gold tone was chosen as the base colour. Clear lines and grids are broken by the sweeping brush strokes of the logo and a handwritten typography and unite personality and perfection as it is characteristic of the Hotel Klosterpforte. In order to offer guests orientation on the 180,000 square metre hotel area and to guide them through the variety of offers, wertmarke developed an umbrella brand concept including a signage system.

Störtebeker Growler IF-Award Sieger 2018

Freshly excellent! 12. February 2018 ‐ Packaging

The success story of the wertmarke packaging concepts continues. This time, the packaging of the 0.85l growler bottle, which wertmarke developed together with Störtebeker, received the iF Design Award in the corresponding category - the oldest independent design award with a jury of 63 international experts. Highlights of this packaging: the unusual shape, the striking design and a handle made of a solid cardboard box in which the bottle is fixed with two natural rubber bands. The red Störtebeker flag, as an unmistakable trademark, was implemented for this packaging concept as a metal clip, which can also be used as a paper clip. The sustainable "Gesamtkunstwerk" can be seen from 21 June to 16 September 2018 as part of the iF Design Exhibition Hamburg in the Elbe arcades of HafenCity.

First the German design prize, now the Worldstar Packaging Award for an extraordinary bottle design: The 16-strong jury named the attention-grabbing bottle of the Störtebeker Eisbock Beer as the world's most beautiful beer bottle. And rightly so, because the cool colours, the restrained black and white of the label and the metallic effect give an idea of the cool taste experience and the process of making this fine strong beer at first glance. Thanks to the small red flag, which placed a stamp of value around the bottleneck, the origin of this noble beer is clear: it can only be Störtebeker.

Störtebeker stands not only for the highest beer quality, but also for the greatest commitment to the further development of the brewing industry. In July 2017, the traditional company therefore invited to the German Championship of amateur brewers under the sign of a black-red-golden hop umbel. Approximately 80 hobby brewers appeared for the brewing contest, which was visually accompanied by wertmarke. Clear, concise and in national colours, the new logo presents itself for the successful talent competition and gives a young, creative platform an equally creative face.

20 years wertmarke 05. November 2017

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our employees, customers and network partners, some of whom we have been working with for the past 20 years, for their hard work and commitment. That's why we celebrated - together with around 130 guests in a former Gin-Manufaktur, just as it should have done in Hamburg, right in the middle of the neighborhood. The marching band Tätärä provided the right music for a roaring party. And the best part was of course the gifts, but not for us. Because instead of gifts we wanted donations. A total of 1.000,- Euro was donated to the children's hospice "Sternenbrücke" in the form of colourful painting supplies.

German Packaging Award 2017 24. October 2017 ‐ Packaging

With a so far unique packaging concept, wertmarke holds the flag high at the German Packaging Award - literally, because the visual highlight of the new Eisbock beers from Störtebeker is the red, waving flag on the bottleneck. For this technical sophistication, a labeling machine that is unique in the world and possesses only Störtebeker was developed. Another eye-catcher is the split, ice-grey shimmering label made of cold foil. Its appearance underscores the icy production process of the fine enjoyable beers. The concept thus stands up to a large international competition and qualifies for the World Star of Packaging.

In everyday life or during sports - movements accompany us everywhere. This makes it all the more important to carry them out correctly in order to prevent posture damage or injuries. Human Movements devotes itself to this task with various sports-specific training courses and offers for workplace health promotion. The idea of movement is continued in corporate design by wertmarke and uses the dynamics of curved lines to symbolize movement in the logo itself. The main colour blue conveys confidence and strength, two important values when it comes to the body. A full-screen web design and modern icons round off the brand identity. www.human-movements.de

CANUSA Corporate Redesign 15. February 2017 ‐ Corporate Design

Among staff members: Why are CANUSA travels so unforgettable? Because they are planned and executed by a lovely professional team. Hence, wertmarke tried giving CANUSA employees a lot of creative space when developing the corporate re-design. Among vividly coloured landscape photographies, city maps and the necessary travel information, employees have a say on their website. Additionally, wertmarke created a second personal web area in the style of a documentation backed up with black and white photographies where costumers can obtain further information about their travels. Supported by icons this concept offers structure and a good sense of orientation to visualise and simplify specific travels plans.

In the footsteps of the Hanse 11. February 2017 ‐ Packaging

The packaging of Störtebeker‘s Waterfront Rum. For the first time in Störtebeker‘s history a rum joined their product range. Wertmarke‘s challenge: Creating a packaging that meets Störtebeker‘s brand authenticity but still has a distinctive look. The result is an anthracite stoneware bottle closed by a wooden cork. The printed picture covering the entire bottle shows the Hanse‘s geographic territory. Of course, Störtebeker‘s red flag cannot miss and therefore seals the cork. Product information on the 5-year old rum can be found on a paper label merging with the bottle‘s grey background colour.

Störtebeker in the Elbphilharmony! 04. November 2016 ‐ Interior Design

Authenticity on three levels. Together with interior architect "fomwaende" wertmarke thoughtfully merged Störtebeker‘s brand environment with the Elbphilharmony‘s extravagant architecture. Interior has to match the beer‘s brand: Thus, the designing team only worked with qualitative materials such as wood, leather and cement. The beer‘s history is shared in written texts decorating walls and pillars. Unique: the beer pumps were specifically designed, guaranteed to catch attention.

...at home - Störtebeker‘s special edition. Just like its real life model the three-piece packaging for Störtebeker‘s special edition is cleverly designed and perfectly shaped. Wertmarke strategically placed the wave-shaped cover with a gap at the bottom hinting at the building‘s plaza on a solid pedestal made of cardboard. Similar to the original building the packaging‘s cover is translucent and has a haptic surface structure reminding of the opera house‘s window disposition. Inside, three product specialties are displayed in an inlay of cellulose fibre. Well thought out: the little red flags on the outside can be used to attach a carrying handle. Plus, by adding a LED light the packaging can be transformed into a luminous souvenir.

Freshly tapped: 29. October 2016 ‐ Packaging

Störtebeker as a Growler! Wertmarke specifically designed a new packaging concept for Störtebeker‘s "Eisbock" beer series: distinctive, outdoor proof and definitely sustainable. Once a 0.85l growler bottle is purchased costumers are able to get a fresh refill in respective stores. Striking: Alcohol concentration and the sort‘s name as bold graphic design elements are directly printed onto the bottle. The embossed logo offers a visual and haptic experience. Around the bottle‘s neck lies a hemp fibre string with Störtebeker‘s red flag attached which appears to be a metallic clip for e.g. paper that can be re-used as well.

Icy looking refreshment 29. September 2016 ‐ Packaging

Störtebeker‘s "Eisbock" beer: 4 high(er) percentage beers refined through a special cooling technique. Wertmarke created a shiny icy greyish looking panorama label on cold- stamped foil and its coherent name. Giving the cog a lot of space on its banderole the beer once again circles around Störtebeker‘s key visual. Other graphic accents such as brand, beer kind and alcohol concentration allow a structured and clear look. In contrast to the black and white appearance Störtebeker‘s prominent red flag functions as an eye catcher. Properly packed in a grey wooden looking 4-bottle carry on box - you are good to go!

Störtebeker is back! 28. March 2016 ‐ Corporate Design

In November 2016 the Elbphilharmony is finally going to open its plaza to Hamburg‘s citizens until its official inauguration in January 2017. The Störtebeker brew manufactury follows back its historical roots to the place where the eponymous pirate Störtebeker once had been beheaded - the Grasbrook. For the first time the brewery will represent itself in three individual gastronomies in which prospective visitors will get the chance to experience Störtebeker‘s brew specialties. Hence, wertmarke developed a new logo scheme for its family brand. The logo shows the stylistic shape of the building with an integrated red Störtebeker flag. The brand designation combines Störtebeker‘s logo lettering and subtitle "Elbphilharmonie Hamburg". The logos for the three individual gastronomies specifically emphasize on the individual key aspects, such as "beer & dine".

Gerriet Danz Speaker

Clear the stage for Gerriet Danz! 01. May 2015 ‐ UI/UX-Design / Corporate Design

A keynote speaker without a speaker‘s corner? Very contradictory. Wertmarke designs a new homepage and logo for Gerriet Danz - one of the most acknowledged coaches in Germany. The idea: A blog that functions as a realtime megaphone of the "Kreatoriker" Danz. His advise: Do not only think outside the box, but act like it! This claim is tranferred to his innovative logo. The tilted "A" reminding of an arrowhead that points to Gerriet Danz's directive content and strategy as a coach. Wertmarke also applies a three-colour-scheme on the website to demonstrate how colorful and various these new ways can be.

Störtebeker goes BioFach! 24. February 2015 – Messestand

Rough, striking, real: The exhibition stall should represent the brand in an authentic way. Thus, wertmarke designed the "BIOFACH"- stall in the style of Störtebeker's brewing market. The iconic red flag combined with the well approved pallets-optics take the costumers into the world of brew specialties and the Nordic way of life. Here, five kinds of beer are presented - among them the two world champions "Roggen-Weizen" (wheat and rye) and the "Keller-Bier". The culture of brewing and zeitgeist do not only come together in Störtebeker‘s brew specialties but also in their exhibition stand: Ipads with short films which inform about the individual kinds of beer and explain the range of products further enhance the adventurous beer experience.

Störtebeker Single Malt Whisky

Vintage-Look for Störtebeker. 12. January 2014 ‐ Product Design Latest Developments

Störtebeker - the name represents brewing tradition, the art of distillation and the idea to unite both in one product. As a real Vintage-Whisky Störtebeker‘s Single Malt Whisky was given a label in vintage style. Combined with a stamp "Matured in oak barrels" the whisky‘s packaging portraits the values of quality, tradition and authenticity. This is especially shown in small details, such as the embossed label and the red flag which simultaneously functions as the "opening zip", as they add to the noble touch of the black matt covering box. The success was proven - after 4 months the first edition was sold out.
