Axon VR
Context
Axon VR puts officers inside high-stakes calls before they ever face one in the field. They practice TASER deployments, crisis response and de-escalation, all with a controller built to mirror the real tool. Three controllers were launching at once, each with a different size and shape, and all of them had to read as one platform.
Approach
Let the product lead, then give it a signature. The design uses a clean white field with the controller front and center. A heavy black band slices into an oversized VR wordmark and wraps the box so it reads from any angle. The design is monochrome so the hardware stays the hero.

Packaging System
One system. Every shape.
TASER 10 runs long. TASER 7 is compact. VR19H is a full handgun frame. Each box has its own proportions, but the system doesn’t change. The band, the VR mark, the product on the lid and the name on every end panel stay consistent. One dieline logic flexes to fit each product, so a new controller can drop in without a redesign.

Lifestyle Photography
Built to be handled.
The controllers were photographed the way they’re used: grouped, gripped and ready. Hard light and a white field keep the focus on form and detail.
