About The Entry

Serkova is not a conventional vodka brand. It is loud, proud, and rebellious, built for those who do not simply enter the night but take control of it. With Polish origins and a defiant spirit, Serkova stands for raw energy, youth culture, and a fearless rejection of the ordinary. Its tone of voice is provocative, witty, and empowering, speaking directly to Gen Z and Millennials who seek brands with attitude, visual impact, and a clear point of view.

We were asked to design a Summer Limited Edition. Instead of illustrating a summer party, the concept focused on capturing the intensity of summer clubbing in a literal way. Dancing bodies, rising temperatures, and charged encounters were translated into thermal traces, inviting the viewer to feel the night rather than observe it. This approach shaped the Thermal Scan Summer Limited Edition and transformed the brand’s philosophy into a bold, experiential bottle design.

Why experiential? Because a specially developed UV-reactive ink transforms the surface under blacklight, causing the design to glow and reveal additional layers of pattern and movement when club lights hit. In low light, the bottle comes alive, turning into a visual instrument that actively participates in the night. This transformation elevates the bottle into a collectible. An installation object.

At the core of the visual system sits Serkova’s iconic red “X.” Dominant and unapologetic, it marks the precise moment when rhythm takes over and desire ignites. Behind it, gradient silhouettes and hyper-saturated colours evoke a dancefloor seen through a thermal lens, where movement is paradoxically frozen in time.

The Thermal Scan Limited Edition was launched through an integrated campaign built around the tagline In the Heat of the Night. The campaign appeared on interactive bus stop screens and across social media through stories, reels, and videos, amplifying the experience beyond the bottle itself.

Serkova Thermal Scan is a snapshot of nightlife energy. A reminder that the best nights are not measured in hours, but in Serkova shots.
