We like to share the thinking behind our designs. So here are the design notes for On Sundays I rest Dec 2019 for your interest.

On Sundays I rest
- The image was inspired by a visit to the Barossa Valley in South Australia a few years ago. We did a day’s vineyard tour, and to be polite (obviously), we ended up with a good collection of wine bought at the cellar door
- We love the variety in wine labelling. So this was an opportunity for us to create a different wine design for each day.
- The symbols on each day of the week relate to the meaning of each day’s name. So Monday comes from “Moon” day, hence a moon symbol on the label. Thursday comes from “Thor’s” day – the god of lightning and thunder, so a lightning bolt and so on.
- There is also some thought behind the colours of the labels, as they’re 6 of the 7 rainbow colours in order – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
- We replaced violet with gold for Sunday, as it’s hard to distinguish between indigo and violet.
On Sundays I rest
- The same design, but replaces Gin and Tonic with Mojitos, as we felt that was a good fit with the design’s overall tone.
- Also Gin and Tonic, we felt, was fairly ‘neutral’ in terms of the energy of the drinking occasions. So, we wanted to add in a drink that felt more energetic and would appeal to younger T-shirt buyers.

- We included Old-fashioned as we felt that was a good fit with the overall tone of the design
- Also, similar to the comment on the Mojitos design, we felt Gin and Tonic was fairly ‘neutral’ in terms of the energy of the drinking occasions, so wanted to add in a drink that felt less energetic and with more appeal to older T-shirt buyers.
