Mio Marito approached us to create a brand identity that feels refined, memorable, and emotionally engaging. The brand needed to position itself as a premium gelato experience while maintaining a soft, inviting appeal that resonates with dessert lovers.
The design direction focused on elegance, minimalism, and storytelling. Instead of using generic ice cream visuals, we introduced a graceful hand illustration holding a gelato cup, symbolizing care, craftsmanship, and indulgence. This subtle human element adds personality and distinguishes the brand from typical dessert logos.
Typography plays a central role in identity. A serif typeface with flowing curves and delicate strokes was selected to convey luxury and sophistication. The letterforms were carefully adjusted to enhance balance and visual rhythm, especially in the connection between “Mio” and “Marito.” The flourish elements add a sense of artisanal charm without overwhelming the composition.
The color palette uses warm browns and soft pastel tones, reflecting richness, sweetness, and a premium dessert experience. Supporting elements like the “Gelato” tagline and decorative lines provide structure while maintaining an upscale aesthetic.
We also created variations of the logo for different use cases, including packaging, signage, and digital branding, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints.
