Unusual Pirate Branding

This Super Cool Visual Branding Identity is Fun and Unexpected

— August 10, 2014 — Marketing
If you have always been fascinated by the sea and sea-faring folk, you will absolutely love this pirate-inspired branding project.

Designed by creative studio Office for 826 Valencia Pirate Supply Store, this pirate-inspired branding project included everything from branding to a new visual identity to super cool packaging designs. Office did a great job for the nonprofit tutoring center for youth -- which is also San Francisco’s only pirate supply store.

“Office has produced some of the most ravishing and funny buccaneer supplies yet known to man,” says Dave Eggers, 826 Valencia founder.

The creative firm gave the store a wildly imaginative makeover that give its proceeds to support the 826 mission. So if you are looking for some Peg Leg Oil, Captain Blackbeard’s Beard Extensions and a Treasure Shining Kit, you know where to look now.
