Brand Identity Development
A mortar, a pestle and two leaves — a maker's mark for a pantry built on provenance.
About the project · our role · our approach
The Spice & Herb Co. is a spice and seasoning brand. Its emblem — a mortar, pestle and fresh leaves over a framed wordmark — reads as craft and provenance. Mohammed Vaseeuddin was asked to build a confident, heritage-leaning identity ready for packaging, shelf and story.
Study the range, its sourcing story and the shelf it competes on.
Frame the brand around craft, origin and flavour.
Emblem usage, label architecture, palette and type for the range.
History & heritage
The Spice & Herb Co. is built on an old idea: that the best flavour is ground fresh, by hand, with respect for where it came from. The mortar and pestle is the maker's tool made into a badge, and the framed wordmark gives the brand the air of an established trading house. It sells seasoning, but it trades on trust and provenance.

The principles that guide The Spice & Herb Co.
Meaning · culture · interpretation
'& Co.' signals an established trading house; the mortar and pestle is the universal mark of the spice-maker's craft.
Spices carry stories of trade, place and home cooking — the brand taps a deep culinary heritage.
Trust, warmth and the anticipation of a good meal.
Keep the emblem hand-crafted and the framing classic; let an optional warm spice accent bring the range to life on shelf.
Archetype · personality · tone of voice
Knowledgeable and warm, with a maker's pride — the brand speaks like a trusted grocer who knows exactly where each spice came from and how to use it.
Logo · typography · colour · mood
A condensed, vintage-industrial sans for the wordmark and labels — confident and shelf-ready.
A clean neutral companion for ingredients, directions and body copy.
Kraft paper, ground spices and whole pods, weathered apothecary jars, hand-labelled tins and warm market light. A heritage trading-house feel with one earthy spice accent to warm the monochrome base.
