Some great work from Joao Ricardo Machado for ice cream branding and packaging. These friendly little guys were the result of a graphic design project for the College of Arts and Design Caldas da Rainha in Portugal.  The intention was to create a collectible and reusable product that expressed a fun brand identity.
