As a company just starting out and getting their operations up and running, Ithíka Acres Creamery was in need of some assistance along the way.

Ithíka Acres Creamery started as Ithaca Acres, named after Homer’s The Odyssey. However, with a popular name like Ithaca, they ran into some trademark problems. Our creative team began brainstorming on how to keep the familiarity behind the name while also ensuring no further trademark issues.

Ithíka Acres Creamery was thrilled that we could create a solution that worked with their vision.
