Fresh out.
BUTTER
Problem
A bakery lives or dies on the walk past. BUTTER had the product and it had the site, but nothing on the street that stopped anyone, and packaging that stopped working the moment it left the shop. In a market where every independent bakery reaches for the same muted, hand-lettered look, it needed to be the one you could pick out from the other side of the road.
Strategy
Fresh out. The brand is loud on purpose , butter yellow as the ground, cobalt blue for the wordmark and cherry red for the dot that signs everything off. Oversized condensed display type does the shouting while a clean supporting sans does the explaining, so a menu board, a butter wrapper and a bus-shelter poster all read from across the street. The pattern system of red circles, cobalt checks and bold stripes flexes from wrapping a single croissant to covering a whole shopfront without ever needing a new asset.

The work

























Result
The brand works at the distance it needs to. Butter yellow and cobalt make the shopfront legible from the other side of the road, and the same system runs through the menu board, the packaging and the bus shelter, so a bread bag or a coffee cup carries the brand well past the counter. Every piece a customer handles is doing the advertising.
