Logo design love

We’ve always been fascinated by logo design. When reviewing the portfolios of creative applicants hopeful of working with our company, we tend to drift towards the logos section first. I think this is because in this discipline, it’s difficult for creatives to mask a lack of ideas with slick printing processes and expensive paper stocks.

However, demand for Bakke jams reached a scale that necessitated more sophisticated production, marketing and distribution methods and today, these jams compete with hardier (but less authentic and tasty), mass produced jams on the shelves of Trøndelag supermarkets.
