Brand Intervention: Coastal Sunbelt Produce

April 11th, 2012 | Filed under: Branding | Add a Comment »

Coastal Sunbelt Produce, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but it’s coming from a friend — you need a brand update. Your trucks make me actively want to avoid your products.

This is a perfect storm of boring and inappropriate type, static layout, unappealing imagery, dull colors, and absent branding. With as vibrant a name as “Coastal Sunbelt,” there’s a whole world of great identity applications you could choose. But this isn’t it.

With a new palette, some updated photography, and a great logo/identity system, I bet you’d be surprised at the boost you’d see in sales. Do some research — see how look and feel can change the bottom line for a company. It’s worth investing in.

And if you’re looking for someone to re-work your look, I’m available!

//Update: I went ahead and made a branding concept to inspire you as to the kind of thing you could do if you wanted to, as proof that I wish you nothing but the very best.
