Yelloh

As the original frozen food company since 1952, Schwan’s Home Delivery needed a new image to align with their new, modern offering. They entrusted us to not only rebrand, but rename their beloved, family-owned company. People familiar with Schwan’s Home Delivery often refer to it with a nostalgic glimmer; we aimed to bring the brand to the present, while positioning it to create memories for a new generation of consumer.


Why the name Yelloh? It’s a friendly greeting, the color of their iconic trucks, and now, it’s a great way to get a freezer full of happy.

The color palette pulls forward hues from the original brand while refreshing others to give Yelloh a modern feel. Angled blocks stemming from the logo are a core component of the graphic language and create dynamic layouts with a sense of movement — expressing how the brand efficiently delivers food to customers’ doorsteps.


Typography is playful and bold — the perfect vessel for the brand’s revamped tone: fun, relatable, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.




The identity came to life in some of the brand’s most iconic assets including its legendary yellow delivery trucks, driver uniforms, freezer bags and packaging.


A system of badges highlights product offerings and the expertise drivers bring to customers' doorsteps.



We developed the brand’s first illustration library to tell new customers the story of how Yelloh delivers a freezer full of happy.

The food and lifestyle photography reflects relatable mealtime moments, complete with modern lighting style, refreshed prop library, and food styling that embraces life’s delicious imperfections.



Yelloh.com is a modern leap for the original frozen food company.




“From the first naming ideas to the final logo, there was so much collaboration and spirited discussion…thank you for your thoughtful creative and strategy leadership.”


–Marketing Director, Yelloh

Zoetis Equine

Brand Identity, Brand Book


Coming from a category filled with fear- and performance-based marketing, our strategy aimed to capture the emotion behind horse care with the rallying cry “Long Live the Horse.” To bring the brand to life visually, we’ve homed in on the beauty of connections between caregivers and horses that show a reciprocity of care – both putting in as much as they receive.

The campaign’s pattern system is derived from the Zoetis logo and reflects the movement of a horse’s tail
Our color palette builds on Zoetis’ corporate color system by incorporating additional earth tones that add a premium feel and celebrate horses’ beautiful coats and natural environments.



Our photography system captures real moments of hard work that vets and horse owners put in to champion horses’ quality of life while our pattern system and typefaces convey the freedom and movement of horses.

We produced a brand book to launch the campaign internally at Zoetis with print techniques ranging from clear varnishes and intricate diecuts to emotive substrates and gate folds to bring the brand to life.
