BRIEF

Establish a strong, modern brand identity that reflects our commitment to delivering fresh, high-quality seafood. Embody traits of trustworthiness, credibility, wholesomeness, and passion while maintaining a connection to the maritime heritage and the family-run nature of the business​​​​.

 

APPROACH

With a brand personality and values emphasising trustworthiness, credibility, family and sustainability, our creative direction draws inspiration from the ocean and maritime logistics with a sense of familiarity and heritage.

The rugged, timeless logotype contrasts the workhorse monospaced typeface and vibrant colour palette featuring a playful symbol set designed for flexibility and improvisation across various applications.

This approach lays the groundwork for a cohesive, relatable brand that speaks to its primary audience while supporting future growth and sustainability commitments.

 
 

Since 2003, Swear Words has helped founder-led businesses turn good products and services into brands people want, remember and choose.

We work across naming, strategy, copy and identity, shaping the decisions that make a brand sharper: what it’s called, what it stands for, how it looks on a shelf, and how it feels in someone’s hand, kitchen, fridge or daily routine.

We’re best with people who care deeply about what they make. Regional producers getting ready for the shelf, service businesses growing beyond word of mouth, and larger teams that still want founder-level care in every decision.
