Doppia R crafted the logo for Ciò Gelato, an artisanal ice cream brand from Riccione, Italy, known for its organic ingredients and family-run atmosphere. The design encapsulates the brand’s philosophy of deliberate quality through an expressive yet minimal visual language.
The logo is contained within a soft-edged hexagonal badge, colored in calming teal or warm mustard. This unique shape offers structural distinction while feeling approachable. The lowercase “ciò” wordmark inside, with its rounded serif and a waterdrop accent on the “o,” symbolizes organic freshness.
Clean, rounded serif typography defines the "ciò" mark, with generous letter height and soft curves that suggest handcraftedness. The "GELATO" descriptor, in a delicate all-caps serif, curves underneath. This approach feels both traditional and still modern.
The color palette, offering options of teal or mustard, is rooted in natural elements. Teal suggests freshness, while yellow conveys richness. These sophisticated tones, paired with white text, allow Ciò Gelato to reinforce its artisanal, natural positioning in the market.
This food and beverage logo is a sophisticated blend of organic forms, considered typography, and evocative color. The use of teal, for example, is a strategic choice, given that research summarized in a 2023 PMC systematic review shows cool packaging colors tend to enhance how healthy consumers perceive food items to be.
