"The company was born out of an attempt to fill the dire market need for a gourmet ketchup -- one that is healthier, tastier, and higher-end." Check out the rest after the jump.

Sir Kensington's Gourmet Scooping Ketchup recently premiered at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York, where we received significant praise for and attention to packaging design and brand aesthetic.  It wasn't uncommon for passersby to not want to try our actual product, but almost everyone wanted to pick up our jars, read the labels, stick our Sir Kensington mustache stickers on their upper lip, take a business card, and compliment us on our choice of such a distinctly anachronistic, yet aristocratic British cartoon gentlemen as our company's figurehead.  

Our goal in creating the Sir Kensington's brand was to create a holistically gourmet experience.  Everything from the labels, to the business cards, to the jar size to the choice of fonts and the choice of colors contributes to a unique and memorable brand identity that stays with consumers beyond the point-of-purchase.  The varied font sizes, deliberately 19th-century fonts, and heavy use of Bodoni-style bullets and ornaments result in a consistently vintage appearance."
