Let’s take it outside – Seedhouse Q4 News – 2023

Hi there. Seedhouse Q4 news here. Hope your year is off to a great start! We’re briefly looking back, but always keeping an eye ahead.

We were at the PLMA Show in Nov. and even with a very strong Q4 we hit all Dec. due dates & EOY goals before scattering for holiday fun. We also completed our first year as a 1% for the Planet member.

Let’s go ’24! We’re re-charged, full of fighting spirit, imagination & problem-solving skills.

p.s. above is a pic of a snowy Halloween here in Chicago.


NEW ALL-STAR ROSTER

BIG LEAGUE CHEW | BRAND AND PACKAGING DESIGN REFRESH, PRINT PRODUCTION, CREATIVE DIRECTION

We all grew up with Big League Chew so it was a great joy to help refresh this iconic brand and packaging. With an all-new, expanded roster of ballplayers that better reflect today’s baseball players, fans and avid consumers. Big League Chew now sports a modern, more diverse lineup of baseball and softball players. Grab some Big League Chew and “play ball!”


CHEF’S KISS

BAR BRAVA | STRATEGY, BRAND DESIGN, NAMING CONSULTATION

Delicious tapas food, lively music, oh my! We did a creative exploration that led us down a wild back alley of European art deco design to land us at an intriguing and bold type-driven mark for Bar Brava. If you happen to be in the Hudson River Valley, stop by for a bite and some late-night tunes.


SEEDHOUSE CLIENTS IN THE PRESS

LONG TABLE, SWITCHBACK & JACKSON’S | BRANDING & PACKAGING DESIGN

Working with great clients is a blessing. It’s made all the better when they get GREAT press. Long Table was featured in SF&WB  and Snaxshot (and you can now get at Fresh Thyme stores). Switchback was featured in Forbes. And Jackson’s made it onto the Today Show!


RECENT AWARDS

6 NEW GDUSA 2023 AWARDS | PACKAGING & BRAND DESIGN

Seedhouse recently won six Graphic Design USA Awards for Best Packaging & Brand Design, featured in the 60th GDUSA Awards Showcase.  It’s the end-of-year, best-of-year selection from 9,000+ entries, and we were selected for our work on Snack Attack, Zorbec, Go Brewing, Jackson’s, CannaWerks and Fixie. Boom.


OUR 2023 INSPIRATION BOARD

COLLECTED PIECES OF DESIGN INSPIRATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

A yearly ritual—each January we take down all the pieces of inspiration we’ve pinned up over the past year and start afresh. Pinned up this year: many stickers, packaging, tissue paper, a grocery bag, bumper sticks, coasters, and more. Read about our past inspiration boards here.
