Peak Brewing Branding & Design

Murphy Empire partnered with Peak Brewing to craft a series of brand identity and logo / mark concepts steeped in old-world beer-brewing style — combining classic botanical illustration with vintage Bavarian aesthetics. Our role focused on designing the visual look & feel for the brewing company, establishing a timeless identity ready for packaging, print, and digital use.

Brand Identity & Creative Direction

Our creative direction sought to reflect craftsmanship, heritage, and artisanal brewing tradition. We developed a visual identity system anchored in detailed illustration, ornate typography, and rustic symbolism — evoking the rich legacy of Bavarian-style beer culture while rooted in Maine’s craft scene. Each design element reinforces authenticity and design integrity.

Logo Design & Visual Language

The logo design and supporting mark set merge vintage brewery iconography with refined structure. Detail-driven botanical drawings, secondary crests, and a restrained yet textured color palette create a visual system that anchors the brand’s presence across labels, collateral, and web visuals.

Packaging Look & Feel & Visual Applications

We translated the visual identity into packaging mock-ups and look & feel explorations — layout treatments, foil accents, and vintage print textures merge with contemporary craft-beer sensibility. Whether on label, poster, or digital share graphic, the system stands out with character, heritage, and distinction.
