The Challenge

Create a classic DIY Italian cheese kit logo.

The Solution

Surrounding the brand is “Formaggio Italiano,” or Italian cheese, a tribute to the history of fine artisan Italian cheeses. A bold hand-drawn script brings the modern-day artisan into focus. A playful slab serif completing the brand name is a visualization of the modern Italian style. A subtle accent of a cheese wheel contains the logo in a stamp formation ideal for embossing a wax covering or fine-aged cheese wheel. Combined, the brand represents the past, present, and future of artisan cheese. A classic Italian color scheme of red and green paired with silver and gold communicates the high-quality Italian tradition of cheese making.
