Creature Comforts
The Untamed & The Unbelievable
Founded in 2014, Creature Comforts is a purpose-driven craft brewery located in Athens, Georgia. For this limited-edition redesign of two signature brews, the creative direction draws directly from the brewery’s ethos—celebrating taste as an expression of individuality and community impact. The designs reimagine Creature Comforts’ symbolic bear and unicorn, blending artistry with storytelling to reflect both the “wild side” of the brews and their imaginative, otherworldly appeal. This visual language not only captures the uniqueness of flavor but also mirrors the brand’s commitment to creativity as a catalyst for connection.
Rooted in a mission of human connection, Creature Comforts extends its purpose beyond the pint. Their foundation actively reinvests in both local and craft beer communities through initiatives that inspired the design narrative. Sustainability efforts, including achieving TRUE Zero Waste certification, informed the mindful approach to materials and packaging. Community programs such as Get Comfortable and Brew for One—alongside industry support through the Giving Kitchen and the Brewers Association—underscore the brand’s belief that every creation should serve a greater good. In this way, the redesign becomes more than a visual refresh; it is a reflection of the brewery’s values translated into form, color, and concept.
Exploration
The Wild Lines Collection
In the exploration phase of this limited-edition redesign, the focus centered on pen-and-ink illustration paired with a restrained, minimalist color palette. This approach allowed the brewery’s symbolic bear and unicorn to take on a sharper, more graphic personality—balancing refined line work with a playful edge. A custom camouflage print, applied with a tongue-in-cheek nod to the “wild side” of the brews, became a signature visual element, blending natural textures with unexpected humor. The result captures both the individuality of flavor and the brand’s imaginative spirit, translating Creature Comforts’ ethos of creativity, connection, and community into a bold, story-driven visual language.
