Challenge
We were tasked with reimagining and reestablishing the Disco Fries’ visual appearance. Our goal was to bring their character and playful energy to the forefront of the brand’s personality. We wanted to craft a look that’s not only sleek and current but also packed with distinctive elements that builds a brand that’s impossible to ignore.
Key Ideas & Insights
Anchoring our creative approach from the inspiration of fast food branding
The brand name was inspired by a fast food dish from the East Coast of the United States, with the duo finding the name amusing and fitting with their music, which is meant to be consumed quickly and provide instant pleasure. This gave us inspiration to look at American-style diners; the colours, the patterns and the textures. We used a ketchup pot as background to house the logo on as it felt synonymous with the brand name and the brand’s energy.
Brush Style Typography
A brush style look was crafted for the typography, evoking the nostalgic feel of diner signage, perfectly aligning with the theme.
Characterful but cool
Whilst the brand was based on personality and playfulness, it was important to have an undertone of relevance and being on-trend as the brand has a big following already.
