At the beginning of 2017 Etna Pasticceria Graniteria changed ownership but attention is still focused on the accurate selection of raw materials, the same passion is dedicated to the preparation of both sweet and savoury specialities whilst a new approach has been given to communication.
To mark this change in management, the shop underwent restyling both inside the premises and in the use of online tools (facebook).
First of all, we worked on the logo: the colours chosen, tones intended to delineate the mood of the coordinated image and online communication, were blue, gold and white, colours which, in people’s imagination, immediately conjure up the natural splendours of Sicily.
The logo was designed and produced using two different fonts: “ETNA” was presented in a gracious font composed of the two main colours (gold and blue). Other parts of the text describing activities (confectionery, granita water ices and 1985) were written in sans serif.
Another element recalling Sicily is the stylised volcano inserted in the logo.
For both in-house and online communication, several ad hoc illustrations were created representing typical Sicilian delicacies (granita, cannoli, “tuppo” brioches (similar in form to French brioches), zeppole (giant choux puffs), and rollò (similar to English sausage rolls)). The same style was used to create a map of the city with landmarks making it easy to locate the shop.
The textures used for both offline and online communication recall majolica, designed using colours to match those used for the logo.
After restyling the logo, production continued with new menus, panels, signs, business cards, uniforms and packaging materials.
The illustrations were printed on decorative panels and displayed in the sales point, as well as used in the editorial plan appearing on social media.
In fact, a facebook page was opened when the business changed hands. The aim is to publicise Etna’s traditional products, making the shop a reference point for Sicilian fare in the city of Brescia. The brand identity studied for the restyling was declined on this platform, too, with the colours, patterns and themes of majolica.
