Gills are fiercely devoted to cultivating a superior onion, from making them kitchen-ready to growing them better, to achieving 100% sustainability. However, their corporate look hadn’t been updated in decades and didn’t reflect their high standards. We set out to change that with ads that showcased their commitment to excellence. Ultimately, we helped foodservice operators believe in Gill’s mission: to offer up a distinctly better onion.

A brand built
for a company rooted
in heritage, science and a
mission in sustainability.

Gill's distinct advantage in their product is the higher keep time, lower moisture, and less odor – a clear advantage over the competition. In short, they're distinctly better. 

The headlines convey our pride in our process–and the resulting product. Since our onions have distinct advantages over the competition, we project that fact succinctly and with clarity. 

Onionology

Color in design

The thoughts on colors for Onionology were past and future. Past is "rooted," aka the greens, and the future is represented by the yellows.

The duo-chromatic color scheme represents the two sides of the company. The sustainable
eco-friendly side of the company (Green) looks to make the best onion and treat the land well. But also the crisp clean refined side of the onion processing and shipping. (cream and yellow)

The pointer idea is taken from the onion itself. The point harkens back to the bottom of an onion.
