The Good Company Coffee (or Good Co.) branding and packaging took inspiration from its surrounding business environment of office-lobby locations nearby and integrated the atmosphere's [corporate speak and business jargon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-program) into its professional look.

The name Good Company Coffee is also a dual play on the concept of “being in good company” while enjoying [good coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-coffee). Designed and created by the Landor agency, the double meanings and wordplay of Good Co. lightens the corporate mood by using a professional tone scrawled on its packaging in dry comedic comments. Using infographics, charts and graphs, these tools from the business workplace adds visual illustrations to the [bold black and white java packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-legends).

The Good Company Coffee is a playful, lighthearted brew branding that really lets you relax and enjoy and cup of joe.
