Branding artwork approval

One campaign. A separate approval for every cabinet.

A mockup helps you agree the visual direction. A usable handoff also identifies the cabinet, graphic surfaces, material choices and exact artwork revision.

Worked visual direction

The same citrus idea, adapted to two formats

The colour palette, fruit motif and MARKOOL identity stay consistent. Their position and scale change with the cabinet: a header and side panel on the countertop format, a continuous body graphic on the can-shaped format.

Countertop

Keep the header and side artwork distinct

Review the logo at counter viewing height, then check the side panel against the actual cabinet template. Keep the glass viewing area and door operation clear.

Can-shaped / promotional

Plan the wrap around the whole body

Decide where the main mark faces the buyer and where the wrap meets. Confirm the artwork boundaries around the lid, base and any openings on the chosen model.

Design illustrations, not customer installations, scale drawings or approved print files. Select an image to inspect the full artwork concept. Final layouts use the chosen model’s current drawing and template.

From visual idea to sample brief

What carries over — and what needs its own approval

Use this example to separate the common brand direction from the files and decisions required for each cabinet. Confirm quantities by model and artwork revision before preparing a sample or order.

01 / VISUAL DIRECTION

The views that settle appearance

Identify the cabinet and review the relevant front, side and detail views. Locate logos, colour blocks, graphic seams and any illuminated areas. Check viewing distance and placement with the artwork.

A generic rendering does not define print dimensions or confirm a replaceable-panel mechanism. Use the chosen model’s current template.

02 / MATERIAL DECISIONS

What the screen cannot approve

Record the material, print or finishing method, colour reference and cleaning requirements for each surface. Compare a physical colour or finish sample when appearance is critical.

Glass graphics, metallic effects and illuminated faces need their own appearance checks. The same artwork can look different on different materials.

03 / RELEASE RECORD

One revision everyone can identify

Pair the visual file with the cabinet drawing, surface schedule, material samples and open items. Name the approver and the revision accepted for sampling.

Visual approval settles appearance. Mechanical changes, ventilation, wiring, performance and market documentation follow the relevant technical review before production.

Start with the inputs you already have

Send your preferred model or placement, logo files, colour references, campaign direction and approximate quantities by artwork. If you have not selected a cabinet, include the drink packs and available space.
