Spoke & Word
BRANDING & SIGNAGE DESIGN
We created a full brand identity for Spoke & Word Books via our one week Branding Intensive.
Spoke & Word is an independent, family owned book and gift shop located in Milwaukie, Oregon. We created a unique visual identity for them, as well as helped apply their branding assets to their physical space by advising them on exterior signage and interior design for their new storefront.
Brand Design
Spoke & Word Books exists to nurture and grow our community through shared stories. When building their logo system, we created a custom illustration of an osprey, a bird symbolic of Oregon. The osprey is often portrayed as a guardian to those in need, a message that was important to the founders of the brand.

“Throughout the process, the Tributary team was not just designers but collaborative partners. Their responsiveness, expert guidance, and commitment were evident at every turn. If you’re seeking a design team that goes above and beyond, offering a clear roadmap and delivering outstanding results, Tributary Design is the way to go. They turned our vision into reality, and we couldn’t be happier.”
Signage & Merchandise
During the branding process, we wanted to keep signage and merchandise in mind. Our color palette is a sophisticated twist on a rainbow, creating several compelling color combinations for real world applications. The illustrative style of the submark inspired quirky, colorful murals seen throughout the store.
