The Pet Bistro Logo, Branding

The Pet Bistro was established after the owner saw a need to improve quality of pet food. The pet food would be created in a professional kitchen out of the finest choices of meat and vegetables then to be delivered to your door. This logo implements the collaboration of a chef’s cloche and a pet food bowl to lend support to the ideology that the food is carefully prepared in a kitchen and served to your pet. The soft curves of the word ‘Pet’ can be seen as the tail or body shapes of the pets themselves while the letter ‘P’ could also be viewed as the waiter, chef, or delivery person presenting the carefully prepared meal. Through geometric contrasting, relating lines, curves, negative space and shapes forms a unity while adding to the individual interest. logo graphicdesigner branding designer packagingdesign

Henrietta Soaps Brand Refresh

This brand and logo / identity was slowly deteriorating with the printers reproduction process. Their cheap “we can do it”, she be right attitude, sometimes replaced the logo with a typical system font or traced it slowly destroyed the edges of it’s form to a point of no return. The old was gone but was still needed to reflect the historical handwritten element of the brand itself. To future proof while enhancing the origins of a home/handmade, handwritten logo type, this new logo was created. The natural curve of the name was held on to while letter weights and relative angles were created to build continuity within its form. The addition of the ‘H’ and ‘a’ swash were introduced to align the logo with the word soap written underneath. logo branding graphicdesigner brandrefresh

Henrietta Logo Brand & Packaging Refresh

The soap is made in New Zealand from only natural, quality ingredients, it's simple, gentle, and biodegradable. To capture the market, Henrietta needed packing to reflect these values and to portray an image that is also seen as environmental friendly. I had these printed and produced on a natural brown Kraft stock with colours to signify the varieties available. A white ink is also used as a base to assist with the barcode legality. logo graphicdesigner illustrator designer branding packaging packagingdesign ecopackaging

That Food Guy Business Startup Logo Branding

An opportunity to introduce quality food and service to a growing trend of food truck vendors, 'That Food Guy' was established. A logo brand was required to reflect contemporary food truck side of the business while also capturing the quality of catering performed at larger formal events. A soft food like typeface in a stamp shaped icon lends itself to the contemporary side of the business. This is also relative and in contrast to the alignment of the ‘guy’ text and cutlery which gives support to the formal catering side of the business. You may see the 'Os of food' as eyes looking up to right thinking "Oh, That Food Guy'' while his moustache is subtle ligatures of the 'G and Y in Guy' ...Food for thought.. logo branding graphicdesign logodesign
