Ice cream packaging can be such fun and so colorful to stand out in the freezer aisle, and this ice cream tub packaging design leans into the color and evening vibes while keeping the celestial fun. As a personal project, I created a hand-drawn logo for a fictional ice cream company called Luna Creamery. From there, I created an ice cream tub packaging illustration for a key flavor, including hand-drawn lettering for the flavor name, a full lid design including the side rim featuring colors and fruit related to the flavor, and a fully-illustrated ice cream tub image for the main tub. I wanted to combine both a character and highlight the taste and fruit for this flavor.

The final lid design for the ice cream packaging features a large-scale version of the logo and colors that change out for the flavor. The rim edge has a repeating pattern of illustrated mangos and starfruit to suit the flavor, and the hand-drawn logo and color swatches for the brand and flavor are shown on the right.

The final tubs, featuring the hand-drawn logo for the creamery, the hand-drawn lettering for the flavor names, the custom rim illustration for the ice cream packaging lid, and a fun and vibrant illustration featuring a character and the flavor components on the front.

After the mango flavor illustrated packaging was completed, the three remaining flavors were drawn to match. A hand-drawn font was created to use for the flavor titles and related ads. In addition, a fun ad and gif were created to help highlight all four flavors. This illustrated suite of four ice cream tubs, complete with hand-drawn logo and hand-lettered font, was a great exercise in food packaging design and vibrant food illustration.
