Kettle & Fire
farmhouse animal badges on black cartons
Kettle & Fire packs bone broth in matte aseptic cartons, the core range in black (#1b1a19) with a stacked soft heavy serif wordmark knocked out of a bright animal silhouette, a red (#d8323f) bull head for beef and a golden (#f0b22e) rooster for chicken, so the animal names the broth before the words do. Under the badge a small serif flavour line sits over BONE BROTH in a condensed slab in the badge colour, with a protein line beneath; a thin claims band across the top flanks a small flame icon with 'Organic' or 'No preservatives'. Soups, vegetable and specialty broths leave black for full-colour or photographic cartons (mustard soup boxes with a rust name panel, a pale green vegetable carton, a prairie or deer-landscape photo) but keep the same wordmark, flame and slab name.

Typography
Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.
The stacked wordmark is the biggest element, sitting inside or over the animal badge in the upper middle. BONE BROTH (or the soup name) is second in a condensed slab, with the flavour in small serif capitals above it and the protein line below. Claims flank the flame icon in a thin band at the very top, and net weight and certification marks sit at the base.

Front Panel
Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.
Front panel is a centred vertical stack: claims band with flame icon at the top, animal badge and wordmark in the upper middle, flavour and product name below, protein and weight at the base.
| Zone | Content |
|---|---|
| Top band | Two claims flanking a small flame icon |
| Upper middle | Coloured animal silhouette with the stacked wordmark inside |
| Lower middle | Flavour line, condensed-slab product name, protein line |
| Base | Net weight, certification marks |
Range System
Core broths share a black carton and change the animal silhouette and its colour; soups and specialty broths switch to a full colour or photographic carton while keeping the wordmark, flame and slab name.
- Beef = red bull head on black
- Chicken = golden rooster and heart on black
- Reduced sodium = same badge + blue band above BONE BROTH
- Venison = sky-and-meadow photo with a white deer silhouette
- Chicken noodle soup = mustard carton + rust name panel + bowl photo
- Vegetable = pale green carton with low-sodium band
- Beef tallow = black label on a glass jar with the red bull
Back of Pack & Shelf
Side and back panels keep the front colour: a nutrition facts panel in black and white on one side, a short sourcing story in serif text, then ingredients, storage after opening, certification marks, barcode and recycling note.
- US nutrition facts panel on a white box at the side
- Short story about simmering bones for hours, in the serif body face
- Ingredient list (bones, water, vegetables, herbs, salt)
- Organic, gluten-free and keto marks at the base
- Refrigerate-after-opening note, barcode and carton recycling mark
On shelf
A block of black cartons reads as a dark row punctuated by bright red and yellow animal heads, so beef and chicken are told apart from across the aisle by colour and silhouette alone.
Imagery
Flat single-colour animal silhouettes as the brand device; specialty packs add warm food photography (a bowl of soup, squash, herbs) or an open landscape with a white animal silhouette over it.
Guidelines
Do
- Use a matte black (#1b1a19) carton for the core range and let one bright silhouette colour carry each flavour.
- Knock the stacked soft heavy serif wordmark out of the animal silhouette in Tallow Cream (#f2ead8).
- Set BONE BROTH or the soup name in a condensed slab at about 6% of carton height, in the badge colour.
- Run a thin claims band across the top with a small flame icon in the middle.
- Put the protein and net weight lines at the base in small serif type.
- For soups, switch to a warm mustard carton with a rust vertical name panel and a bowl photo.
- Mark sub-ranges such as reduced sodium with one full-width coloured band.
Don't
- Don't use clean sans-serif for the wordmark or product name.
- Don't drop the animal silhouette on the core broths.
- Don't use pastel or neon colours on the core range; keep them warm and saturated.
- Don't crowd the front with ingredient lists; claims stay in the top band.
- Don't use glossy or metallic finishes.
- Don't draw the animal with detail or outline; it is a flat silhouette.
