Visual Identity, Packaging A brand known for its dedication to sustainable farming, ethical business practices, and respect for people embodies "the spirit of the 1960s era and progressive change" in new packaging.

A shout-out to our Pioneer Valley neighbors Deans Beans and BRIGADE. Dean Cycon has been demonstrating how a for-profit business can root its practices in respect for the earth, the farmer and co-workers, and has been doing it for 30 years right in Orange, Mass. And since opening as a one-woman shop in 2005, team BRIGADE has been proving that world-class creative just might best come from places like Florence, Mass. instead of name-brand cities. It's terrific to see them partner on a great product launch. Kudos. Article: BRIGADE And Dean’s Beans Lead With Love In The Nitro Coffee World.
