What Do You Think of When…

Posted September 11, 2012 | Laura Christianson

A client and I are fleshing out a new brand and we’d love your input.

When you hear the phrase, Grateful Table, what thoughts, images, and/or colors immediately come to mind?

Please post a comment or email your impressions to laura@bloggingbistro.com. Thanks!

    Honestly maybe I am too much of a dead head but I think about something like this tapestry used as a table cloth 🙂

    But on a serious note, I think of something like a Thanksgiving table, the stereotypical American expression of gratitude for the bounty of fall harvest season. Browns, reds, yellows, oranges, cornucopias and Native Americans!

    I think of Thanksgiving and fall colors, like browns and tans.

    I think of the feast we will share in heaven, everyone grateful to be there together–white tablecloth, golden utensils. Sorry, I don’t see food.

    Yep. Traditional T’giving table, mellow tones in yellows, browns, deep reds. Also heaps of fresh food, including vibrant fruits and vegetables.

    Unedited response – as soon as I read the question:
    FIRST impression is Grateful Dead, followed by rock band dinner setting. OK – sort of a weird image!
    Second impression is more Normal Rockwell Thanksgiving dinner setting.
    First color: black
    Second color: orange (from the Thanksgiving image)
    Good luck!

    Families, Thanksgiving, browns, big dinner are my first thoughts for the phrase. Knowing it is for a brand, I also quickly thought of cookbooks and building a happy, spiritually healthy home.

    Hi all,

    Your comments are so helpful. I purposely did not provide you with context, because I didn’t want to bias you in any way. Keep the thoughts coming. I’ll provide more details about the project once we work through some branding exercises — your input is invaluable. Thanks! Laura

    Warmth. Family-type recipes. Health. Spiritual focus. Thanksgiving (the act and the holiday). Fall colors.
