The original Crust Pizza Co. is located in the Woodlands, TX. Now with 3 more locations and a few outside of The Woodlands, the clients wanted a more versatile and modernized logo. Our challenge was to re-fresh the brand in a way that didn’t confuse or make existing customers think Crust had been bought out by another pizza chain. Our job was not only to refresh the brand identity but to design better in-store graphics, a new website with an improved user experience, menu re-design (in-store and to-go), restaurant wayfinding, and table numbering.

We kept the oval shape and tweaked the orange slightly since the eye recognizes color and shape first. This way, customers knew it was still the same Crust Pizza Co. In the old logo, it said "Pasta, Pizza, and Salad". The owners added to the menu to include more than just those three things. Therefore, on the new logo, we just put "Pizza & More" so the menu could change freely without the logo having to change. We knew they would never get out to the pizza business so saying Pizza & More was a safe bet.

The new location where the updated brand identity was piloted is going gang-busters.
