The Playful Progressive

Challenge


The craft beer category is awash with activist brands, who talk a good game but fail to live up to the hype.

Really Good Beer Society breaks the mould by actually doing what it says on the tin – brewing great beers that give back (with a B corp certification to prove it).

And with a strategic focus on high end bars and hotels, our design also needed to feel at home in a world of cocktails and canapés.

How do you create a brand with both purpose and poise?

Solution


We started by clarifying and crafting the brand personality born from their actions – A joyful optimist.

Our branding system begins from this playfully progressive point, building out from a logo that is both kinetic and balanced in its execution – an endlessly revolving wheel of colour and typography.

Through applications that deliver expressiveness through idiosyncratic precision and lively geometry, RGBS expresses a premium feel that their charitable ethos deserves.

“We had such an incredible experience working with Derek&Eric. Their ideas were always spot-on, bringing a fresh and innovative twist that matched our vision perfectly, explaining the uniqueness of our brand better than we had ever managed to.

Jon, Adam and Alex were all a dream to work with. The whole process felt like a true collaboration and we’re utterly thrilled with the final results. If you’re looking for a creative team that’s incredibly professional, capable but also a joy to work with, we can’t recommend Derek&Eric enough.”
