This project features a custom illustrated logo and product packaging concept created for Fleece & Field Organics, a garden nutrition brand focused on natural soil enrichment products.

The design centers on two sheep characters standing on a hay bale surrounded by thriving garden vegetables, visually reinforcing the product’s farm-to-garden concept. The characters create an approachable mascot identity while the circular botanical framing element forms a memorable brand mark suitable for packaging, labels, and marketing materials.

The illustration was developed with a clean, friendly cartoon style to help the brand stand out on retail shelves while clearly communicating its organic agricultural focus.

The project also demonstrates how a character-driven logo can translate seamlessly into real product packaging, shown here on a compostable garden product pouch.

• Mascot character design
• Logo illustration
• Brand identity design
• Product packaging visualization
• Agricultural and garden product branding
