Earlier this year, LS:N Global tracked how several premium wine brands are moving towards stylish, simple black-and-white label design. Ministry of Clouds follows on from this with an elegant label featuring debossed print on heavy, textured stock. The logo, inspired by cloud classification symbols and ice crystals, is reminiscent of LS:N Global’s Emblematic design direction, where designers create super-stylised symbols to graphically represent a brand.

The wine brand’s name — Ministry of Clouds — is meant to reveal ‘a paradox’ between what one can and cannot control, according to Parallax’s website.
