CHALLENGE
The primary challenge in designing the brand identity for Grainge was to visually represent its core values of wholesomeness, vibrancy, and sustainability. The goal was to create a logo and branding elements that resonate with a diverse audience, including health-conscious diners and environmentally conscious consumers. Incorporating a grainy texture in the logo was a key design choice, symbolizing the natural and organic essence of Grainge's cuisine. The scattered letters and central 'G' within the circular logomark needed to convey a sense of community, diversity, and harmony, while the bright colors and playful imagery were aimed at creating an inviting and joyful brand presence. Balancing these elements to create a cohesive and compelling visual identity was essential in effectively communicating the Grainge brand story.
