Inside the Arches
McDonald’s has local and global teams that are working hard to enhance their offerings and educate owners-operators to continually improve their service. With this in mind, it's important to have distinctive and brand-aligned marks to help these events, programs, and initiatives stand out and rally engagement.
Visualizing the Possibilities
Here, we shared several ways to design a department environment to stand out from the rest. We helped conceptualize and then worked to bring that vision to life.
They provide services that go beyond branding – they’ve become our daily design partner.

Strengthening a Global Community
We collaborated with McDonald’s on a variety of annual report assets, which included a cover that was created to capture the essence of their mission: community. The cover design visualizes this with an illustrative approach, bringing together a variety of icons and illustrations arranged in a circle to represent a global reach, and finally, it is anchored in the center by the signature smile. As we strive to do with all of our work, we focused on bringing an emotive presence and sense of authenticity to the piece from the cover to the interiors.
Mobile Order & Pay
McDonald’s move into the mobile ordering market required some fun and engaging character illustrations to help them promote and train their employees.
More Than Just Big Macs
McDonald’s has wonderful campaigns and initiatives but needed some support when it came to sharing them on social media. With such a well-known brand, we were eager to help. We began by creating visual graphics and animations to represent their product line, and seamlessly integrated them within the overall message for their important campaigns, reports, and projects. Needless to say, McDonald’s and their customers are lovin’ it!
Infographics & Illustration
Our team transformed complex concepts into visually stunning infographics and illustrations to communicate key brand messages. The illustrations served a dual purpose – beyond adorning marketing materials, they became integral tools for employee training, offering a visually engaging and memorable way to convey essential information.
