Creative Brief: Back 40 Group Logo Design Project Overview Back 40 Group is the parent brand of WoodMaxx, with a vision to expand into a house of brands dedicated to high-quality outdoor power equipment. Rooted in craftsmanship and a deep understanding of landowners’ needs, Back 40 Group aims to be a trusted, American-made alternative in a market flooded with lower-quality, mass-produced machinery. Brand Identity & Personality The brand should feel hometown-oriented, authentic, and rugged yet professional—a company that works alongside its customers. Unlike WoodMaxx’s industrial presence, Back 40 Group should convey a more sentimental and traditional feel, reflecting a commitment to land stewardship and the tools needed to maintain property with pride. Logo Design Direction Style: Possibly Hand-drawn elements, straightforward typography, and a badge or emblem format that remains professional. We'd possibly like to have a badge logo that has a nature scene inside of it - forest, sun, etc. Imagery: Woodland/forest imagery (trees, sawmarks, topography, or forestry-related visuals). Avoid farm fields to prevent associations with agricultural equipment- but there can also be some secondary focus on fields like field lines, or something in the background or foreground - just don't want this to me the main focus Pine trees would be great! Hint to mountain is OK but not as the hero of the composition - we dont want to pigeonhole the design to one geographic area so focus on woods Typography: Classic and structured, not overly stylized or "brewery-like." Logo Composition: A badge-style option that incorporates subtle visual cues from the "back 40" concept. A horizontal version for professional applications (letterheads, websites, etc.). No numbers in the logo. Tagline "Maintain every acre with pride." This should be incorporated where possible but should not overpower the primary brand elements. Color Palette Cream, black, and gold (gold as a nod to fields and property maintenance). Dark forest green for a natural, grounded feel. Avoid: Bright, unnatural colors or excessive textures that make the logo feel too busy. Target Audience Primary Customers: Landowners, small-acreage farmers, homesteaders, arborists, and blue-collar workers who need durable outdoor power equipment. Business Clients: Schools, golf courses, conservation services, forestry services, parks & rec departments, and outdoor resorts. Demographics: Primarily men aged 25-65+ in the U.S. and Canada, but not exclusively. Psychographics: Hardworking, self-reliant, values American craftsmanship, and wants equipment built to last. Competitive Differentiation American-made durability in a market saturated with lower-quality, mass-produced alternatives. Genuine customer support with real people behind the brand. Focus on quality over cost-cutting, unlike competitors who sacrifice longevity for higher margins. Deliverables Primary Logo (full-color) One-Color Version (for versatility) Badge/Emblem Version Horizontal Version (for professional use) ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR FILE with everything editable - no photoshop thank you Design Notes & Preferences ✔ DO Keep it clean, classic, and rugged with a modern yet nostalgic feel. Incorporate hand-drawn or organic elements where appropriate. Use structured, easy-to-read typography without excessive ornamentation. ❌ DON'T Avoid overly textured or gaudy designs like Betstco and Land Pride. No overly corporate or gimmicky styles—this brand is about getting hands dirty and working the land. No numbers in the logo. Final Thoughts Back 40 Group is not just a manufacturer but a parent company that invests in brands committed to American manufacturing and long-lasting equipment. The logo should reflect that pride, reliability, and connection to the land.
