Brand Identity System

A bold wordmark gives the name more presence. Purple connects the system, while expressive mascots and food illustrations bring personality to the functional pieces.

From the Counter to the Street

Burger boxes, paper bags, wrapping paper, menus, signage and uniforms carry the same visual language. Each piece belongs to one recognisable brand.
