We 🧡 logos
Honestly we could brainstorm logos all day if anyone let us. Big or small, every brand needs one! It’s the first impression, the face, the thing people remember.
Let us help you put your best face out there.
This logo was for an apricot variety, so we had a little fun with it 😉 leaning into the cheeky side of a pretty straightforward produce category, inspired by a favorite emoji. Even if it’s not something you’ll spot in the produce aisle, we still bring the same level of detail and care to every single logo.
Happy Earth Day from HCG 🌎🩵
Today we’re taking a moment to honor the Earth and everything she gives! Through our work in agriculture and a lifetime spent outside, we’ve seen firsthand how sacred, resilient, and life giving the Earth truly is.
We’re endlessly grateful for the places we’ve explored and the ones we’re lucky enough to call home. Here’s to protecting them, nurturing them, and never taking them for granted. 💙✨
Not to be dramatic but… she’s the moment.

What do you get when you mix 5 years, one incredible client, and a lot of big ideas? 🍎✨
Websites, social feeds, packaging, events… and a hot air balloon (obviously ✨).
Proud of the work. Grateful for the partnerships. Excited for what’s next!
🎶 Raindrops on roses and crisp cans of cider… 🍎
A few of our favorite things? Designing bold, beautiful cans for 2 Towns Ciderhouse.
From punchy color palettes to illustrated details that pop off the shelf, these designs are made to be picked up (and cracked open). 🍎✨
This is who plans, writes, edits, overthinks, laughs, and launches ✨ 💙
Since helping launch Bimi® Baby Broccoli in U.S. last Spring, we’ve focused on a brand-centric strategy rooted in content, community, and culinary inspiration.
The kind of work we love most.
An agency that’s not very good at marketing itself? Guilty as charged. But we’re here! Heads down, building brands, driving results, enjoying every single minute.
So, Hello! 👋 from Lisa and Melissa
One of the most exciting rebrands in HCG history! We’ve transformed CIBO into Italy Culinary Vacations – a name and brand that perfectly captures the spirit of exploring Italy through food. 🇮🇹🍷
From the fresh identity to the new website, this project was a dream come true. Take a look and prepare to feel transported to the heart of Italy.
🎨 Before ➡️ After
What a fulfilling week! Had a full circle moment talking to my oldest son’s high school graphic design class on a @yourfutureisourbusiness career panel. His teacher is a designer that I worked with at my very first agency job here in Santa Cruz. Obviously I brought them Cosmic Crisp apples to try 😉.
I also donated Cosmic Crisp apples to my middle son’s 6th grade culinary class. They made the pop tart recipe from our website and it was a huge hit! 💪🏼
There is no greater joy than having a career that is meaningful to me as a marketer and as a mother to three boys. 😀🍎💖
~ Lisa
Is it cliché to call the summer of 2024 life-changing for us at HCG? Maybe. But it’s also 100% true. 🌞✨ This summer, we’ve adventured far and wide, dreamed big both professionally and personally, loved fiercely, and laughed even louder (maybe a little too loudly 😜). And, most importantly, we’ve had SO MUCH FUN!
We truly love what we do, and we still can’t believe we get to call this our ‘job.’ Talking about how good apples and fresh produce taste, and sharing that passion with all of you? Yeah, we’d say it’s the best gig ever. 🍎🥳 From exploring places we never imagined possible (who else gets to say they’ve flown in a Cosmic Crisp® hot air balloon?!) to soaring through space with the Cosmic Explorers and ending up at a bubbly hard cider destination with 2 Towns Ciderhouse, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Thank you for being a part of this wild, wonderful adventure with us! 🚀💫 We can’t wait to see where the rest of 2024 takes us! #BestJobEver #ProduceLove #CosmicCrisp #SummerAdventures #HCGLife
What an absolute honor to earn our first Crushie Award for packaging design alongside our partner @2townscider! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with you (and for making the best hard ciders and teas.) With this award we are toasting to more design adventures together! ✨
