SB Studio has created branding for design superstore Cow&Co that represents traditional values of service and craft that translates to online and offline retail spaces.
Cow&Co is a design superstore delivering new, unique and vintage items to its customers' doors. Aiming to provide a platform for new designers and makers, the shop and retail space opened in August in Liverpool's ONE shopping quarter, and now hosts small inspirational talks by leading designers, craftsmen and entrepreneurs.
Liverpool-based design agency SB Studio was commissioned to create branding for the store that represented traditional values of service and craft, and would translate to online and offline retail spaces, including various pop-up shops.
The team's design solution for the identity was inspired by traditional marques and vintage retail signage, and has been applied across the brand from interior design and packaging through to visual merchandising and printed collateral.
"We're currently working on a range of branded mobile units for pop-up stores around the country, which will be launching later this year," explains SB Studio's creative director Benji Holroyd. "Alongside the pop-ups we’re also working on the first Cow&Co 'magalogue'."
