They will be missing hands

In this project we worked on the comprehensive development of the brand “Manos les van a faltar”, from its initial conceptualization to the creation of its complete visual identity. We designed a logo that captures the essence of mezcal, integrating elements such as hands and the maguey to communicate tradition and authenticity. The scope of the project included the creation of the identity manual, selection of fonts and color palette, and design of the bottle label.

The result

The main challenge

“Manos les van a faltar” required a brand identity that captured the essence of an authentic, artisanal, high-quality mezcal. The project faced multiple challenges that affected its ability to stand out in a competitive market and emotionally connect with its target audience:

  • Graphically merge multiple hands with a maguey:
    The main challenge was to design a logo that represented the idea behind the name, harmoniously integrating hands and the maguey as central elements of the brand.
  • Difficulty in conveying your unique proposition:
    The concept behind the name, “Manos les van a faltar” (Manos les van a faltar) (Hands will be missing), needed to be represented visually to stand out in a saturated market and create an immediate connection with consumers.
  • Need for an attractive packaging design:
    The bottle, as the first point of contact with the consumer, lacked a memorable design that communicated the quality and character of the product.
  • Lack of brand guidelines:
    There was no identity manual to ensure the correct application of the brand in various contexts, from printed material to digital applications.

The result

Thanks to a strategic and creative approach, we managed to develop a comprehensive identity that highlights the cultural and artisanal essence of “Manos les van a faltar”.
