The founders of the Weird Window Brewing Company came to Four Nine looking for assistance with a brand name, a logo and a website we did what we do best… we analyzed the market, proposed ideas and worked with the client to develop a brand identity that stands out in this crowded marketplace.
We needed an organic, iconic, Vermont concept - hence the "Witch Windows" theme. The logo features a stylized roof-line with a "Witch Window" angled at 45 degrees — an Vermont architectural feature dating back centuries.
Founded by a Vermont based husband and wife team, Little Bottle came to us with a dream in one hand and a logo in the other and asked us to create a labeling suite for their line-up of decadent spices.
Within a vast sea of spices on the grocery store rack it’s not easy to stand out. We made sure to craft a label design that would garner the attention Little Bottle deserves by focusing the design on the product's quality and flavor. Playing off the spice colors, the thickness of the glass bottles and the rustic spoon logo, we developed a master label and 3 additional label breakouts that will be sure to catch your eye on the shelf.
To commemorate 8 decades of work, the FFF team tasked Four Nine with delivering a website design and build that would rival the likes of their work.
Following an internal leadership meeting custom tailored to identify exactly how FFF wanted to present their brand, we reviewed a number of comparable sites and agencies throughout the Northeast, developed a content architecture that would communicate the key elements of the FFF brand, profiled their work with large format imagery and provided a curated view of their 80 year history.
We've compiled a collection of posters from the last 13 years. We've had the opportunity to design and illustrate quite a few - this isn't all of them, but some of our favorites.
Posters are a great way to brand an event, complement a product in-store, or just reinforce company branding.
We specialize in creative, eye catching point of sale materials that help tell our client's story. Contact us to discuss your company or event branding.

The landscape of the Vermont ski industry has undergone a major change this month. With Vail’s recent purchase of Stowe Mountain Resort, the local ski / snowboard community is whirling with discussion. Some love it, some not so much.
One thing we know is that the face of Stowe and its newly renovated Spruce Peak Village is changing before our eyes. From the new Stowe Mountain Club, to the skating rink and now the opening of the Alpinist retail store there are even more reasons to visit Stowe than ever before. Have a look at the retail branding we created for the Alpinist and stop in.

Vew-Do has a passion for balance training and they’ve been pioneering new training methods for over 25 years. When they called us to create a new brand video we jumped at the opportunity. Brew started this company back when MTV played real videos and snowboarding was still a relatively new sport. A lot has changed in the world since then but Vew-Do's passion for improving your balance has not waived.
Check out the 25 year video we produced and 6 supporting product videos.
If brewing quality beers was like baseball, Long Trail's SMaSH project is rounding 3rd and headed for home with the 4th installment of its minimalist take on craft brews.
The idea behind the SMaSH craze is to break brewing down to its basic elements and emphasize the flavor of a single malt and single hop variety. We’ve been a fan of Long Trail for years and are stoked to continue developing can labeling for their revolutionary brews.
We’ve moved. Stop in and check out the new digs. And update your contact info while you’re at it. Four Nine Design is now located ground level and at 106 Main St in beautiful Burlington, VT.
Our summer celebration series "Four Nine Fridays" in our courtyard is set to kick off soon. Sign up for our newsletter and we’ll keep you posted.
Long Trail Brewing Co. has been blazing the trail for Vermont’s craft brew industry since 1989. With some of the tastiest mountain brews this side of the Mississippi we jumped at the opportunity to put our stamp on what we consider to be one of the best beers around.
Constantly pushing the limits, Long Trail Brewing Co. launched its SMaSH – Single Malt, Single Hops limited line up a few years back and with old man winter laying low this year Long Trail gave us a ring to get a jump start on spring with a request to create a fresh new look for it’s SMaSH Project 3 limited edition can.
What started as a partnership in ‘06 built on two equal shares of 49% + 2 shares left to hard work and a little bit of luck, Four Nine Design has grown from a two man studio to a full service marketing & creative agency with a client base as diverse as our staff.
From our first client to everyone in between, we thank you all for allowing us the opportunity to support your cause and we look forward to another decade of creativity, success and helping your brand Differentiate by Design.
So sweet, so savory — and so ready for something new. Until now you thought you knew all you needed to know about maple syrup. Sweet, sticky, delicious on pancakes. Thanks to the founders at Runamok Maple they’re taking syrup to uncharted territory with a line of flavor infused syrups.
Helping Runamok design a new labeling suite was, well — SWEET. Pun intended based on the amount of syrup we “sampled” for design inspiration
Ben Cohen, co founder of Ben & Jerry’s has been a big fan of Bernie Sanders for quite some time. We’ve helped Ben with some of his public interest projects over the years and when he called on Four Nine to create the packaging design for a pint of Ben’s Best ice cream named “Bernie’s Yearning” - we had a pretty good idea what Ben was cooking up.
From late night with Fallon and Colbert to an afternoon chat with the ladies of The View, all the way to a spoon held by the man himself, this limited edition fundraising flavor has made the rounds across just about every major news outlet in the US.
Stowe Mountain Resort has a cache that rivals the likes of Sun Valley, Deer Valley and Squaw Valley. On the east coast there’s no place like Stowe and with the introduction of its freshly christened Stowe Mountain Club, a members only mountain lodge, a new level of luxury has nestled itself atop Spruce Peak.
With a clubhouse designed to speak to outdoor enthusiasts and evoke a sense of being at home in the mountains the Stowe Mountain Club asked Four Nine to develop and custom logo and brand identity package that would encapsulate a sense of Vermont sophistication that its members would identify with as a symbol that welcomes them to their home in the mountains.
