MALIBU IN A NEW DESIGN – We’ve taken something great and made it even better

“MALIBU is the original coconut-flavoured rum with a vibrant Caribbean mindset – and our iconic white bottle is well-known worldwide. But even something great can evolve. And that’s just what we’ve done with the new design,” says Katarina Nielsen, Global Brand Director at MALIBU.

“We’ve refined everything – the logo, symbol and the typography – and the bottle shape itself. The new bottle is more slender with high shoulders, giving it a distinctive, modern feel that appeals to everyone – and emphasizes the unique MALIBU character. It brings to life the energy and warmth of the Caribbean, in a highly contemporary way” says Anna Kamjou, Global Director Design Strategy at The Absolut Company.

The new logo is clean and modern and evokes the free and easy spirit of MALIBU. It captures the inspiring moment when the setting sun meets the beach, and the day opens up into an even better time.

The new bottle is designed to celebrate our spirit. MALIBU is all about spreading the summer feeling, of being carefree and open to good times all the time. Those lucky consumers who have had a sneak-peek at the new bottle say it’s a knockout – more fun, energetic, trendy and contemporary.

So say hello to MALIBU, evolved. The same fresh and clear spirit in a beautiful new bottle promising more shelf-impact, quality and style.

The new bottle will begin shipping in early 2013.
