Making Magic With Myco Meadows - Mushroom Packaging Design Case Study

Brand Identity for Myco Meadows: A Mushroom Supplement Brand

When you think about health and wellness, the phrase “eat your fruits and veggies” likely comes to mind, but how often do we hear about the power of medicinal mushrooms? Myco Meadows, a 100% organic, small-batch mushroom harvesting company, specializes in medicinal mushroom supplements designed to boost immunity and brain function. They had a clear vision: they wanted to create a brand identity that was both funky and trustworthy. Their product line of medicinal mushroom supplements, designed to support immunity and brain function, needed packaging that could resonate with a health-conscious audience while maintaining a quirky, natural appeal.

Our task? To create a unique brand identity and packaging design that reflected their commitment to nature, while standing out in the competitive wellness market.

A Blend of Artistry and Professionalism

Vibrant "Immunity Boost" packaging designed to reflect nature and health.

One of the main challenges we faced was creating packaging that felt personal and artisanal while ensuring it also conveyed professionalism. We achieved this balance by combining hand-drawn illustrations of mushrooms with clean, modern graphic elements. The hand-drawn style added a layer of authenticity to the design, underscoring the company’s small-batch, organic production. Paired with sleek typography and structured layouts, the overall design conveyed both warmth and trust—key attributes for a health product.

Our design process emphasized Myco Meadows' values of sustainability and authenticity, which are increasingly important to today’s wellness-driven consumers. This thoughtful combination of natural, earthy aesthetics with a polished, reliable feel allowed us to capture the brand’s essence while appealing to their target audience.

From Wellness to Packaging Design

The wellness industry is saturated with products that claim health benefits, so we knew Myco Meadows’ packaging needed to break away from the typical sterile, clinical designs often seen in the supplement space. Most medicinal mushroom supplements in health stores mimic pharmaceutical products with white, minimalist labels and medicinal-looking fonts. While this gives them a clinical feel, it doesn’t resonate with the younger, upbeat audience Myco Meadows wanted to attract.

Instead, we aimed for a design that exudes energy and vibrancy while maintaining the trustworthiness required for a medicinal product. The hand-drawn mushroom illustrations brought an organic and earthy vibe to the packaging, while the modern fonts and clear labeling ensured that the product felt professional and reliable.

By blending these elements, we crafted a brand identity that speaks to the mushroom-enthusiast community and health-conscious urban professionals alike. Our approach to packaging design made the product accessible to wellness seekers who care about both the natural origins of the ingredients and the credibility of the product.

Breaking the Mold: Innovative Packaging for Myco Meadows

Bold colors and intricate patterns make Myco Meadows' packaging stand out in the competitive wellness market.

When creating the brand identity for Myco Meadows, we wanted to ensure the design reflected both the earthy, natural vibe of the brand and the vibrant, health-focused energy of their target audience. Drawing from our experience working with wellness brands, we knew that a fresh, lively approach would help differentiate Myco Meadows from competitors, especially in a market dominated by minimalist, clinical designs.

Designing For Two Worlds

In our early research, we discovered that mushroom enthusiasts tend to be a quirky, passionate group of people—think tie-dye shirts, love for nature, and a deep interest in science. On the other hand, Myco Meadows also wanted to appeal to a more urban, wellness-driven demographic: young professionals who shop at Whole Foods, care about their overall health, and are always on the lookout for natural supplements.

To capture both audiences, we combined playful, hand-drawn illustrations of the medicinal mushrooms with sophisticated, clean layouts. The fonts were purposefully roughened up to add texture and an organic feel, while the structured graphics kept the overall design feeling trustworthy and polished.

The result? A brand identity that feels like a blend of both worlds—earthy enough to resonate with mushroom enthusiasts and polished enough to appeal to urbanites who care about the healing properties of natural supplements. This dual appeal gave Myco Meadows a unique edge in the market, aligning with their goal of becoming a go-to brand for natural wellness.

Packaging for Foragers

One of the most exhilarating parts of mushroom foraging is that moment of discovery—when, after hours of searching, you stumble upon a rare find. We wanted Myco Meadows’ packaging to evoke that same sense of excitement and serendipity.

Using bold, unconventional colors—funky blues and rich reds—we created a packaging design that feels fresh and full of character. The color palette is a mix of traditional and non-traditional hues, rich in tone and feeling, giving the design both a wild, untamed spirit and a polished, trustworthy vibe.

The repeatable graphic patterns symbolize the positive effects the mushroom supplements have on the body and mind, while the vibrant illustrations draw the consumer in, making the packaging feel like something you’d be thrilled to stumble upon in the health aisle.

Stepping up a Wellness Brand

Hand-drawn illustrations and vibrant colors capture Myco Meadows' essence, a mixture of nature and wellness.

We believe that a well-thought out brand identity is essential for standing out in today’s crowded wellness market. By working closely with Myco Meadows, we were able to create packaging that reflects the brand’s commitment to natural wellness while appealing to both earthy, nature-loving consumers and modern, health-conscious professionals.

From the hand-drawn illustrations to the innovative use of color and texture, every element of Myco Meadows' packaging was designed with intention. It’s more than just a product—it’s a celebration of the power of nature, the joy of discovery, and the magic of medicinal mushrooms.
