    uniE621 Branding for PA$TA // Italian Restaurant in Barcelona
    It is an Italian restaurant in Barcelona, where the word not only evokes the direct product, but also the concept of money and prosperity. This was our proposal: Naming and Concept: ”PA$TA” is the name that says it all. We’re not just talking about the delicious pasta we serve, we’re also talking about the money. Our motto is ”¡Haz que tu pasta cuente!” , ’’¡Pástala Bien!’’ or ’’Los Problemas Pastarán’’ which suggests both enjoying the food and making every euro worthwhile in an every euro worth in an unforgettable dining experience. Visual Identity: The visual identity of ”PA$TA” is bold and full of energy. We used a bold colour palette of deep tomato red and a traditional beige palette that conveys the Italian passion for food. The typography BigShoulders designed by Patric King is a modern and dynamic mega family, with a touch of extravagance to reflect the bold and disruptive nature of the restaurant. Apps Design: From the menus to the napkins, every detail is carefully designed to highlight the unique personality of ”PA$TA”. We incorporate colourful illustrations of fresh ingredients and motifs related to Italian cuisine to create a cheerful and welcoming atmosphere. Comunicación y Marketing: In our communication strategy, we play with the double meaning of ”PA$TA” to create provocative and eye-catching campaigns. Our slogans and taglines revolve around Italian gastronomic themes and abundance.
