Great product with great design = a great new brand!
One of the most satisfying aspects of our work is helping our clients grow and succeed – even after our design work is complete. Especially when we work with a client in startup mode, we want to make connections and give introductions and cheerlead long after the work is finished.

A few key pieces from our Brand Positioning Statement and Design Brief.
Target Audience:
Primarily people who suffer from gluten allergies who need to avoid certain grains to maintain a healthy diet. C&G provides a simple yet wholesome food to enhance the gluten free lifestyle. Other groups are people who are looking for healthy alternatives to typical (less healthy) snack foods. C&G tastes good, low in sugar, no fat, and has no dairy. This is attractive to both groups.
Perception/Tone:
A modern, current company founded on going back to basics. Use contemporary design aesthetics and convey simple wholesome & healthy. Recall a time when you could read and understand the ingredients in a product.
Competitive positioning:
We are the only whole grain gluten free bar on the market providing sustainable nutrition without all of the sugars and processed starches found in other bars. A health food product for people with gluten allergies who want choice without sacrificing taste and health. In a word, inclusion.
Brand promise:
Wholesome gluten free snacks that taste good and can be enjoyed by all.Very modern ampersand symbol that within it, a stylized “C” and “G” for Crisp and Grains. Symbol hints at an infinity loop representing wholeness and sustainability. Font is classic Goudy tying it back to a more traditional time. A very clean and simple design.
