The business of composting may be smelly but it sure looks cute! A regenerative staple in the green lifestyle, composting has the power to divert organics from our landfills, and add nutrients to soil that can be put to good use. The owners of Missoula Compost are Missoula locals, and as their business grew, they knew they were ready for a rebrand. They wanted their look to illustrate the beauty of what can be created when we focus on the actions we can take to shift back to a regenerative culture. We wanted to design something for them that was rich, that illustrated the process of taking things that are “spent" and giving them life once again. The logo mark shows the regenerative process from something that appears skeletal to something that blooms. We worked on a branded pattern that felt fun and inspiring and really loved using rich colors because, if you’re a composter yourself, you know that soil is rich and gorgeous. We incorporated a background pattern used in architecture to symbolize “dirt” into this branded pattern, and really love seeing Missoula Compost’s trucks driving around town decorated in their branded look. We are so inspired by the folks who own this company, and we love working with people making a real difference in the world.
