Packaging Design
With deep roots in the community and generations of family stewardship, the brand carries both legacy and renewal. The identity was designed to honor that history while elevating the company for its next chapter. Inspired by early 20th-century packaging and typography, we created a visual language that feels storied, authentic, and timeless, reimagined through a refined, contemporary lens.
The tagline was created by Colorway Creative especially for Mound City.
The brand tone balances nostalgia with quiet sophistication. Heritage serif typography, hand-drawn illustrations, and tactile textures nod to tradition and craftsmanship, while a restrained palette of rich, earthy tones and warm neutrals brings depth and modern elegance.
Subtle grain, vintage print finishes, and layered details add depth and texture, reflecting the craftsmanship behind their chocolates and roasted nuts. The result is confident, elevated, and enduring: a brand that feels both classic and distinctly premium.
It’s been great partnering together throughout this whole process. We’ve loved the artwork. Thank you again for everything!
