Gelato Palace is a thoughtfully crafted brand rooted in Arizona and designed to resonate nationwide. The branding process began with a deep dive into understanding the gelato market, identifying our target audience, and setting clear goals for how we wanted the brand to feel—approachable yet elevated, nostalgic yet modern. Inspired by the local charm of Arizona and the universal joy of gelato, we explored countless ideas through sketches, research, and refinement to build a cohesive visual identity. The final brand strikes a balance between playfulness and sophistication. Typography plays a key role in this, offering a fun, welcoming tone that appeals to all ages without leaning too youthful or gimmicky. The color palette was chosen with care—soft, warm hues that feel fresh and inviting, while still grounded and refined. These choices not only helped the brand stand out but also created an emotional connection with the audience. From the logo to the stationery kit, annual report, and brochure, every touchpoint reflects the brand’s personality: joyful, modern, and inclusive. This consistency across applications allowed the full identity of Gelato Palace to come to life—making it not just a local favorite, but a brand with national potential.
