New food retail brand redefines soup

Zuppa Brand 9

Background
Zuppa is a new casual dining concept that redefines soup as healthy, hearty and tasty meal. It is passionate about changing the food retail sector and providing a new alternative to salads, sushi and other healthier fast food options.

Starting with a Melbourne CBD location, Zuppa is hoping to have multiple sites across Australia in the near future.

Challenges
Soup is not considered a proper meal and its normally seen as an add-on, not the main event. We needed to define a new food retail category that builds relevance and demand for high quality, fresh and healthy soup as a real meal.

Strategy

The brand was positioned to appeal to health conscious foodies with a rich brand story that shares the brand’s vision and passion for soup, how it should be made and eaten.

The brand messaging draws out Zuppa’s differentiation of authentic hearty soup recipes that have been shared through the generations; “made slow, served fast” and “with love from everywhere”.

Design solution

The identity design celebrates the heritage of the fresh ingredients and recipes passed down through the generations.

A stylised postage stamp highlights the cultural sharing of recipes and provides locks the brand messaging into the identity system. The circle is a recurring symbol that references the shape of the soup bowl and the stamp.

The wordmark is a customised font that provides a unique bold, yet sophisticated mark that stands out in the category. The deep green delivers great contrast with the use of copper and blonde wood finishings that combine to give the brand a fresh and modern look.
