Logo

Parallel with CRFT Burger’s mission, this logotype utilizes a vintage typeface that provides a sense of history and a classic feel. This typeface is old school and carefully crafted, much like CRFT Burger’s mission and products.

Submarks

The submarks are inspired by vintage badges aligning with the brand’s traditional feel.

Color Palette

The vintage logo paired with this color palette is synonymous with the brand’s loud and proud persona, as orange is associated with confidence. The accent colors are also used to give the brand a relative and fresh feel contrasting with the vintage logotype. 

Typography

While Neilvard provides a vintage and classic quality, Helvetica Neue adds a modern and casual touch to the brand.
