You almost had me…

This interesting Olympic Wolff Ollins inspired design had me worried for a second when it popped up in my inbox. It linked to a page showing these…

Oooh OK they must be a limited edition thing… ooh where are they going…

Ahhh it was all an elaboarate ruse! Here’s the real new packaging…

the nice crates also get a face lift…

Nice they are too.

I was hoping to find some more details, but I couldn’t dig anything up. I can’t quite see what’s been done in the fine detail, but the Original and Foreign Extra labels look good. They keep the tradition but give an overall cleaner, more modern feel – which is the Guinness way really.

A pointless post, but it kept me amused. Have a look at the page for a little bit more info.

They would have been nice collectors pieces though…
