The full signature.
Eka American Sauerkraut is a fictional sauerkraut company based in Loa, Utah. Fermented cabbage is a popular food eaten all over the world regularly but for some reason America has a problem with sour flavors. It's too bad, because sauerkraut is tasty and full of health benefits. The people at Eka want to change that.

The Audience
This brand plays into a bit of nostalgia and blatant patriotism. It relies on the idea that the definition of Americanism and Patriotism are evolving to something more open minded/hearted than maybe 20 years ago. The people who are most likely to try sauerkraut are open minded and accepting of new things.
Stationery with three different business card fronts
Design Elements
The brand uses rigid elements for stability and familiarity. I like to think that there is something rebellious in reclaiming visual elements that are typically associated with a closed off type of American nationalism for something that is intended for a "crunchy" crowd that embraces diversity.
Additional brand elements. Could be used for a menu design or icons.
Basically the primary color palette
The Ads
The ad campaign is lighthearted and fun. It makes use of the brand's secondary colors. Jars of sauerkraut are personified to convey the messages of the ads. Bold flat colors keep things vibrant and straightforward.
