Replace Design - Smash Burger

Smash burger is a restaurant focused on creating the best burger for the next generation of burger lovers. It was an honor to help create exactly that. Smash Burger is replacing regular low quality burgers with exceptional burgers at a great price point. Take a look! Replace was asked to create a celebratory and immersive brand system to bring the Smashburger story to life. The challenge was to create a robust and powerful storytelling experience. Smashburger was using a variety of logos in their system, so our goal was to create one mark to represent the brand. The system uses elegant and modern iconography, illustration, and typography. The modern, line illustration icon system is inspired by American neon signage, western metal bending, cattle branding, and ancient visual languages such as hieroglyphs. The icons were also designed in a style that conveys dynamic motion and movement. The visual system captures the lore behind the brand, including the culinary traditions and techniques from around the world and the thoughtful curation of high quality and great tasting ingredients We also wanted to emphasize Regional Burgers, which are special recipes designed to represent the flavor profiles of specific geographic regions.
