Prancing Cow Dairy Farm
How Branding Transforms a Small Dairy Farm Into a Modern, Standout Business
The Problem
The Challenge
A small, independent farm trying to create hype around the quality of their dairy products faces an uphill battle. In a crowded market where most consumers buy milk interchangeably, standing out is crucial.
Their branding needed to immediately grab attention, communicate their values, and signal premium quality— all while avoiding the clichés that many small farms fall into.
Why This Matters
Branding isn’t just about looking good—it builds trust, recognition, and loyalty. In a world of industrial dairy giants, a strong brand identity helps small farms compete on more than just price.
What We Needed to Solve:
Create a fun, modern, and recognizable brand presence.
Communicate regenerative farming values without feeling cliché.
Develop a memorable & flexible identity that works across all platforms—from milk cartons to signage to social media.
The Solution
Brand Strategy
We built a brand that is bright, bold, and full of personality—without sacrificing trust or quality perception. Supermarket dairy brands often feel generic, clinical, or overly traditional, so we infused Prancing Cow with bold joy and confidence.
From visuals to brand voice, every element positions them as a spirited, premium brand that proudly showcases their commitment to regenerative farming and happy, healthy cows.
Logo Concept
The logo had to balance playfulness with clarity, ensuring it remained recognizable and legible at any size.
The prancing cow captures the movement & joy of a well-cared-for animal, reinforcing their animal welfare commitment.
Expressive negative space and bold shapes make the logo readable at both large and small sizes.
A head-only variation functions as a favicon and small-scale brand mark, ensuring strong visibility in all formats.
Colour & Typography
Prancing Cow’s color palette breaks away from traditional dairy branding. Instead of expected blue and white hues, we crafted a six-color system.
Primary Brand Colors: Each color pairs with a secondary shade, ensuring legibility & vibrancy.
Typography: The bold, playful Erica One font gives the brand an unmistakable voice, while Karla ensures clean readability across print and digital applications.
Guidelines for Flexibility: A structured brand guidelines system directs how colors and typography are used for maximum impact & consistency.
