Who We Are

Mucky Duck is the Michigan-made mustard known for its authentic recipe, taste, and versatility.

Our Primary Wordmarks

The Mucky Duck wordmark can be presented in both stacked and horizontal arrangements, with usage determined on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best fit within the design context.

The primary color for the logo must consistently remain black, preserving brand identity and recognition. In scenarios where a notable contrast issue arises between the logo and its background, the logo may be displayed in white to ensure superior visibility and legibility.

Our Alternate Wordmarks

The stacked wordmark, accompanied by our designated modifier, may be used strategically in situations where additional context or storytelling is deemed essential for the Mucky Duck brand’s effective communication. The waving duck lockup must always be used in black and never in white.

Our Duck Duo

The primary duck illustration serves as a visual embodiment of the Mucky Duck brand’s “Absurdly Wholesome” attitude and voice. This illustration should strictly be in the form of a black line drawing and only be used on backgrounds with a high level of contrast. Importantly, the duck illustrations should remain independent and not be integrated with the word marks in any form.
