Brown-Forman offices

Activating workplaces around the world by turning Brown-Forman’s strongest asset — its brands and people — into the experience itself.

Brown-Forman has a proud, 150-year history of success and innovation in alcohol and spirits. As part of a global workplace initiative, we developed a flexible graphic system that brings energy to new office environments and connects employees to the company’s legacy and brands.

Redesigned offices

Each office was designed by a different architecture firm, with its own approach to the space. The graphic system needed to work across a wide range of interiors, materials, and layouts.

Inspiring with brands

The brands themselves became large-scale architectural elements, turning familiar assets into immersive pieces of art throughout the workplace.

Global application

To the next 150 years

The Brown-Forman logo is celebrated as an oversized graphic throughout the space, using scale to reflect the company’s legacy and position within the industry.

 

The brand activates reception areas and shared public spaces, while also appearing more subtly in privacy glass applications.

Branding meets wayfinding

The logo is reversed out of the pattern to highlight entrances and key destinations. Conference rooms and gathering spaces are marked with cropped supergraphics for impact and visibility.

Illustration of the founder

A streamlined halftone illustration of founder George Garvin Brown became the project’s only original artwork, offering a modern way to tell the company’s heritage story.

Words of wisdom

Quotes from past company leaders appear throughout the workplace as graphic statements that reinforce the culture and standards behind the brand.

Activate the brands. Turn them into art.

Brown-Forman’s portfolio includes some of the most recognized spirits brands in the world. Those brands became the foundation for activating the workplace and creating moments of visual impact throughout the environment. Brand artwork appears in meeting spaces and high-traffic areas, designed to work naturally within different architectural layouts.

To separate these graphics from everyday brand marketing, we established a few guiding principles:

1. Tell stories through imagery

2. Feature secondary assets

3. Use dynamic crops and composition
