Harmless Harvest began as a small team dedicated to sustaining wild ecosystems by working with native communities to grow and harvest exotic super fruits. Using these ingredients, Harmless Harvest sought to create a series of raw beverages that treasure the relationship between these fruits and the communities who grow them.

A Brand Built by Hand

Hands are one of the most familiar and expressive parts of the body. Much of human interaction is based on hand gestures and passing things from hand to hand.

For Harmless Harvest, hands became the essence of the packaging, evoking the sense that a fresh-picked fruit grown out of humble beginnings is being handed to the consumer. No additives, no processing, just raw fruit.

We like that they’ve taken a different approach than what’s already out there, using a plain white box whose front panel is covered with hand drawn illustrations and lettering. This gives the product an artisanal feel that’s not found in any other product out there.

An Organic and Authentic Identity

Harmless Harvest needed an approachable visual style that emphasized the purity of the ingredients.

I created Harmless Sans based on hand-drawn letterforms to compliment the custom illustrations used throughout visual assets. These brand elements work together to establish an organic and authentic visual language that stands out against the beach and coconut cocktail imagery commonly found on coconut water packaging.
