Humour in Branding

Design

You have to be very careful with humour. Sometimes it’ll not come over well.

Santander using Ant & Dec is an excellent example of it working well, especially with a bank.
After the financial collapse of 2008, don’t we want banks to be careful, trustworthy and small c conservative? A bank has no business being creative.


I recently discovered another product with some humour on the label. It’s a wine, something people take pride in developing an ‘educated’ palette with.

For the Bauhaus fan.

If you’re going to pun, be brilliant about it. This one suits the product. And if you’re a goth, you can find a little red tipple to go with your deep black-hearted darkness.

Don’t have too much because you’ll need to watch out for those bats in the belfry.

Enjoy.
