The thing

A producer trusted for decades needed a brand that signalled that heritage on a crowded modern shelf: premium, confident and unmistakably Beefcor, from packaging to the point of sale.

The thinking

Define it once. Reuse it with discipline.

Define it once, then reuse it everywhere with discipline. A circular badge and monospaced wordmark, a high-contrast black-and-white aesthetic and rich food photography that does the appetite work.

The problem

Signal trust on a crowded shelf, then carry it to a billboard.

One system, many surfaces.

The make

Packaging, print, outdoor, newspaper, apparel, calendar and website on one system, plus the campaign line The devil is in the detail, running through recipe flyers, seasonal specials and a 64-step quality story.
