Brand Identity

#brand-identity2018-2019 launch window

Heritage-modern positioning for a Washington, DC small-batch cured meats brand. The brand line "Modern meats made the old school way" anchored a system that rejected both the Victorian-butcher and the apothecary-minimalist defaults of the category. Black-label utility, honest ingredient lists at product-name scale, documentary photography in camp light.

Logo & Marks

#logo-marks

Stacked compressed-sans wordmark with the modifier-noun lockup format. NAKED BACON as the launch SKU; the same lockup geometry holds for future line extensions. Tagline ("MODERN MEATS MADE THE OLD SCHOOL WAY") set above the wordmark, framed by hairline rules.

Collateral

#collateral

Ticketed event collateral for DC farmers-market sampling activations and the early launch dinners. Same black-label register, same compressed-sans wordmark, scaled down to ticket and printed mailer formats.

Editorial Photography

#editorial-photographyLaunch shoot 2018

Documentary product photography placing the cured-meats line against camp-grade accessories: blue enamel mugs, brown eggs in a yellow carrier, scout-print matches, slate countertops, green metal flasks. The frame says outdoor meal, weekend cabin, real cooking. The brand never sits on white seamless.

Packaging

#packagingNaked Bacon launched 2019

Half-pound vacuum-sealed packaging with a square black label carrying the wordmark, tagline, ingredient list, certification stamps, and brand mark in a single planar composition. The label was designed to read from the shelf at four feet and from the hand at six inches without changing register.

Smoke Meat Everyday.
