First brewed in the mid nineteenth century by Frederick Miller in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Miller High Life — well, to be clear, Miller High Life wasn’t introduced until 1903 — is one of most well known American beer brands. I have never had a Miller High Life so I can’t attest to its flavor, and it’s probably for the better, so that I don’t derail into a diatribe about my preferred beers. Earlier this year, Miller High Life introduced a whole new look for all of its packaging and graphics designed by the San Francisco office of Landor, with illustration assistance by Chris Mitchell.

There are various elements that come together for this redesign. First, the updated logo, which is a major improvement, losing the unnecessary shading and bevels of the old one, while cleaning up the typography and balancing the contents within the holding shape. The curves have also been accentuated a little more and it gives it a nicer flow.
