When the founding team of what would become Tractor Beverage Co. came together to grow an organic beverage company, they committed to doing things right. That meant being real to the last drop—everything from keeping their commitment to no artificial ingredients to partnering with a creative studio that was fully aligned with their vision of what better beverages can represent.
As we dug into the Tractor brand strategy, a realization rose to the surface that laid the foundation for what Tractor would become. Yes, Tractor Beverage Co. was the first certified organic and non-GMO food service beverage solution, but just as important, the folks at Tractor understood that food and drink have an important and meaningful relationship and history. In other words, because food matters so much—drinks matter. We determined early on that table drinks can be a complement, an extension, and a catalyst to carry overall dining experiences to the absolute peak of flavor, enjoyment, and satisfaction. From there, we got to work.
When developing the visual system for Tractor, we sought to craft a lasting, flexible design system that conveys a premium experience with a nod to heritage. We worked to achieve a balance that feels simple but elevated, accessible but not too cute, all while establishing a bold presence that is always inviting. Intentionally stripping back the fluff and conveying transparency was intentional to show what matters most—the ingredients. With clean lines, strong type, and impeccable photography, we’ve found a visual language that resonates with Tractor’s audience and honestly reflects the deeper aspects of this brand’s unique characteristics.
