Banowetz + Company partnered with Benchmark Global Hospitality to craft a custom barbecue sauce and rub for VIP guests attending a leadership conference at their Texas A&M University property in College Station. B+C developed the name “1876” as an homage to the university’s founding date and to highlight the rich history of the storied institution. To create a sense of place for out-of-town conference guests, branding for 1876 was rustic yet refined, and featured a flag-bearing cavalryman and stylized woodblock lettering. As it is Benchmark’s mission to create authentic and memorable food and beverage experiences, the Texas BBQ Sauce is infused with locally-sourced Texas Corn Whiskey through a partnership with Rio Brazos Distillery. The final gift set presentation incorporated a custom screen-printed box with liquor-bottle-inspired packaging and labeling.
Bon Appétit: B+C Develops Delicious Packaging for Benchmark
Banowetz + Company partnered with Benchmark Global Hospitality to create a tasteful and engaging giveaway for special guests at the annual IMEX Conference. Highlighting Benchmark’s mission to present memorable and authentic food and beverage experiences, B+C crafted a simple and sophisticated package for guests to experience the world of Benchmark in their own kitchen. Inside the custom wooden box, five curated recipes from Benchmark chefs, and corresponding ingredients featured in them, were presented in labelled metal tins. Locally-sourced honey, a custom tea towel, and a laser-engraved wooden spoon rounded out the presentation. The resulting package not only delights the senses but also indulges one’s culinary creativity.
Wild Yet Elevated: B+C Brands Fauna
Banowetz + Company collaborated once again with celebrity chef Stephan Pyles to launch Fauna, a wildly experimental tasting-menu eatery at Flora Street Cafe in the Dallas Arts District. Imagined as an exclusive culinary adventure, the branding for Fauna is equally creative yet restrained, with branch-like elements fusing together to create the wordmark and accompanying animal icons. B+C designed a simple, elevated tasting menu featuring blush-colored paper, gold foil, and a handmade wax stamp on the enclosure. Rounding out the unconventional experience, signage was developed and a unique antler-handled box was sourced for the check presenter.
