Premium Blend × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study
From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world marks.
A September study.
Premium Blend is a Los Angeles consultancy and a certified B Corp, Sprinklr Partner of the Year 2025, working for some of the largest brands there are. Their line for what they do is “We create trusted human experiences in an increasingly digital, first world.” Ten percent of annual profits go back into their communities, and the site says plainly that “the collective we” comes before individual pursuits. The team’s own motto is shorter still: “Go further, together.”
The wordmark is two lines of wide geometric capitals, and the E in BLEND is the whole idea in one letter: a square notched from both sides so the two notches meet at a dot. Two things arriving at one point. They asked for that mark with the motto beneath it, on arizona leather, so we set the line small under the wordmark and pressed it.
The mark, with the line beneath
Pressed on arizona
Upright first, a blind press and then gold. The golden arizona tan takes a tone-on-tone deboss very well; the gold is there for the version that catches the light on a handle.
The wordmark is wide, so we also turned the tag and ran it along the length, the way the old trunk labels went. Blind, then gold.
We
The collective we, in their own letters. Two capitals, and the E is theirs, the notched square around the dot. On black in gold, because a monogram this short can carry it.
Customers for life
Their mission line, drawn as the loop that never ends. One continuous infinity line, and where it crosses itself it passes through their dot. Navy.
No more brand breakups
Their own cheeky line from the site. A whole heart with one mended seam down the middle, five stitches, sewn back for good, over NO MORE BRAND BREAKUPS. Poppy red, the color the line deserves.
Trust machine
Trusted human experiences in a digital world, drawn as a handshake. One hand is flesh, a smooth silhouette; the other is pixels. They shake on it over the words TRUST MACHINE, the phrase the site uses for what a brand becomes. Warm country gray.
Ten percent back
The B Corp promise. A pie with one tenth slid out and offered, a small heart cut from the slice, over TEN PERCENT BACK. Deep forest green.
Go further, together
The motto once more, this time as a diagram. Two arrows start apart, merge, and continue as one longer arrow, over GO FURTHER and TOGETHER. Caramel, the classic luggage leather.
We made this out of love. Leatherius Woodman is on a mission to create and share artifacts of beauty, craft and love – this study is one of them, and we hope the feeling is mutual. Every image is a render – how we prototype before cutting a die.
