Welcome to Macchiatto. We’ve got a couple of decades of experience in branding, collateral and packaging design, but also in interpretive storytelling, museum exhibition design and retail design. In other words, we are a team of extremely well-rounded designers, capable of telling a story – your story – in new and compelling ways.

Murphy-Goode was long overdue for a makeover when they came to Macchiatto for a redesign. Their brand’s core values included hard work, tradition and a sense of humor. We were tasked with the challenge to keep the nostalgic purple color which actually ended up as a key differentiator on shelf. A custom typeface and illustration were created to give their brand the attention to detail they deserved.

Passion projects are always a great joy for any designer, so we were flabbergasted when asked to design a tour poster for Grand Duchy, a band led by one of our favorite musicians – Black Francis (of the Pixies) and his wife Violet. Their music features abundant synthesizer sounds, which inspired the piece. All of the knobs on this faux “Moog” are references to their music or personal tidbits we collected from them. A print of this poster (signed by Black Francis and Violet) goes to the first client who brings us our next passion project.
