Based in Ottawa, Ontario, Gloucester Fine Foods serves in and between the Toronto and Montreal metropolitan areas with a guaranteed three day delivery turnaround.

How: We were excited when GFF approached us for a rebranding and website design exercise – a unique company in a unique industry. The aim for the logo mark was to create an abstract, memorable design that would represent everything that GFF stands for. We used the idea of the circle as a basis (circle of life, circulation of food), and built a G made of several lines (roads, distribution), and added a feeling of a horizon and distance. All these shapes combine to give a feeling of a friendly company with an ecological outlook. We used a green colour palette to emphasize freshness, cleanliness and the environment. The accompanying word mark speaks of high quality, with an impactful font that is clear and easy to read at any distance.
