into an unapologetic punk statement.

The starting point
Same roots. New attitude.
Strane already had a recognizable foundation: yellow, black, and three expressive
eyecons. The rebrand kept those familiar cues and gave them a rawer, more
confrontational presence.
THE LEGACY IDENTITYYellow / Black / EyeconsThe original packaging system
Working with Holistic Industries' marketing team, we developed a bold punk direction
designed to stand out on the shelf and look unmistakably Strane at a glance.
The new identity
Turn up the attitude.
PANTONE 3955 C yellow leads the charge. Black bags, yellow brick, wheat-paste layers,
ripped edges, and halftone imagery bring the energy of a punk collage to the brand.
PUNK REFERENCES / CREATIVE DIRECTION
The graphic language
Rip it. Paste it. Make it Strane.
Distressed type and halftone cutouts sit against yellow brick. Wheat-paste layers
bring a rough, handmade quality to the surface, while the black bag holds everything
together.

Meet the eyecons
Three eyes. All Strane.
The rebrand carries forward the three familiar eyecons. Each expression identifies a
product type, keeping a recognizable part of Strane at the heart of the new look.

Packaging
Built for the shelf.
The same yellow-and-black framework connects flower, vapes, pre-rolls, and gummies,
while each strain gets its own cut-and-paste personality.
ACROSS FORMATS / A connected strain identity
One recognizable family
Different forms. Same volume.
Flower pouches, vape packaging, pre-rolls, and gummies share the same graphic
ingredients. The layouts adapt to each format without losing the yellow, the
attitude, or the eyecons.

Lifestyle & merchandise
Worn out. Taken out.
The collage language carries into shirts, accessories, and lifestyle imagery. Away
from the shelf, yellow and black keep the brand visible while the eyecons become
graphics people can wear.

Retail activation
A statement. At every scale.
The yellow brick becomes a recognizable backdrop for display stands, cabinets, and
larger retail graphics. The packaging language grows into an environment.

For Flower Expo, we collaborated with Holistic Industries' marketing team on booth
concepts, design, and 3D visualization. The co-branded booth brought the graphics to
life in a shared physical space.

The takeaway
Recognizable at a glance. Unapologetically Strane.
The rebrand gives Strane a louder expression while keeping the elements people
recognize. Yellow, black, and the three eyecons connect a punk collage language across
packaging, merchandise, retail, and events.
