Last summer I worked on the identity for Food That Speaks, a blog about great food in Rochester, New York. Food That Speaks is also the official food column in Rochester Woman Magazine.

The logo evolved over time from the original idea of somehow representing a dinner plate. I wanted the logo to convey: fresh food, modernity, and vibrancy. The final main design is that of a kiwi, as the color of a kiwi is really vibrant and unique. The shape itself came from the dinner plate inspiration, while the seeds in the center are actually spoons. The logo will also change through the seasons.

The business cards for Food that Speaks were designed around the kiwi logo, using the green and black from the kiwi center as the main colors. The typeface used in the complete logo (kiwi+text) is carried through on the business cards as well.

The client wanted her blog, the primary source to read the food reviews, to be very prominent on the cards, so it is featured on the front of the card as the only other text besides the logo. It is set off against a stark white background, allowing it to stand out. **Please note that all contact information on this sample business card is fictitious. For actual contact information please visit Food that Speaks.**

Designed the logo for Kaimelsky’s, a new mobile food venture based in Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s a new business, but the owner wanted the logo to have an old-style restaurant sign quality to it. In the end, went with warm, appetite stimulating reds and oranges to promote a feeling of comfort and desire to eat! //
