Green Captain  Sipan Island Treasures

Green Captain

Green Captain is a branding and packaging design for traditional products from Sipan Island in Croatia. The brand icon merges the shape of a leaf with a hidden ship. The icon refers to the founder, a former tanker captain who now cultivates traditional products on the island. Captain motifs appear across the range, with suit symbols on olive oil bottles and ship icons on wine bottles. Carob packaging reflects the natural and architectural heritage of Sipan. Fedrigoni paper and foils are used, with modern printing for clear detail and strong color.

Green Captain Sipan Island Treasures by Anja Zambelli Colak was featured as a creative representation of communication design by the A' Design Award. Green Captain Sipan Island Treasures won the Bronze A' Design Award in Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design in 2024. The A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design recognition program which honors excellent design of logos, posters, infographics, brochures, packaging designs, business cards, book covers, billboards and more.
