Custom Design System for an Emerging Brand

For the salad bar chain Harvest, ArtVersion embarked on a comprehensive brand development journey, crafting everything from the logo to a full suite of branding materials. This endeavor was aimed at encapsulating Harvest's commitment to fresh, healthy, and sustainably sourced ingredients through a visually appealing and memorable brand identity.

Logo Design

The logo design process began with a deep dive into Harvest's core values and the essence of what they stand for. ArtVersion conceptualized a logo that reflects the freshness and natural quality of Harvest's offerings. The final design combined earthy tones with a clean, modern typeface, complemented by a graphic element that evokes the richness of freshly harvested produce. This logo not only serves as the cornerstone of Harvest's visual identity but also communicates the brand's dedication to providing nutritious, farm-to-table options.

Complete Brand Development

Beyond the logo, ArtVersion developed a comprehensive brand identity that extends across all touchpoints. This included the creation of color palettes that resonate with the vibrancy and variety of Harvest's salad offerings, as well as typography that speaks to the brand's approachable yet sophisticated ethos. The agency also designed packaging, in-store signage, and marketing collateral that reinforce the brand's commitment to sustainability and wellness.

To ensure consistency across digital platforms, ArtVersion created a user-friendly website and social media assets that align with the physical branding, providing a seamless brand experience whether customers interact with Harvest online or in-person. This holistic approach to brand development ensures that every aspect of Harvest's identity - from the logo to the website, packaging, and beyond - works harmoniously to convey a clear and compelling message about the chain's values and offerings.
