Project

Branding & Packaging

Location

Atlanta, GA

Odd McClean is an idiosyncratic boutique in Atlanta, Georgia. The unique gift store carves out a niche for quirky, high-end gifts and needed a visual identity to match.

We created a brand that feels both expensive and quite odd at once. The result takes inspiration from haute couture elegance, but is subverted with an unexpected mascot, topsy turvy typography, and a bright, clashy palette.

In the end we created something very odd, indeed.

They bury their eggs. They're not hiding; they're just hunting for something special...
