About IGPizza Corporate Identity
IGPizza is a corporate identity created for a takeaway pizza brand. The identity is based on patterns taken from the shapes seen on a pizza, and these patterns form textures used across corporate materials and the layout of the sales point. A smiling pizza character with an extended tongue gives the brand a friendly tone. The pizza packaging is printed with flexography, while the flyer menu is screen printed with Pantone colors. The packaging graphics also carry promotional texts and ordering information. The identity was developed with the client through participatory planning.

- Production Technology
- The project was realized through the use of various printing techniques, from flexography for pizza packaging to screen printing with Pantone colors for the flyer menu. As a project approach, participatory planning was implemented to involve the client in the selection phase and to better understand the decisions taken and the direction followed.
- Design Challenge
- It was very difficult to represent the brand and its so many different souls in a single graphic sign that made it recognizable and different from its competitors, and the processing of pizza delivery materials was complex as they can only be printed with certain techniques that do not possess a high degree of resolution and precision, to remedy the problem we have carried out an extensive research on the most suitable technique and compatible with the design and redesigning the packaging several times to obtain the result.
- Research
- The flow of design was based on the search for a friendly and "greedy" image that represented the values of the brand, the goal was to be represented of haute cuisine but with a friendly and playful appearance. The result has allowed the brand to be very characteristic and to be always reconfortable, becoming in a short time an icon of the same and its peculiarities.
- Inspiration
- The brand identity has been influenced a lot by the patterns derived from the shapes that are visualized on a pizza, this has led us to create different textures useful for the realization of the corporate materials and the layout of the location.
In addition, the extreme friendly aspect has led us to design a pizza that is smiling like a pigeon, with a tongue that comes out of its mouth as a sign of liveliness and sympathy. - Project Duration
- The project start in July 2016 in Milan and finished in December 2016 in Milan.
- Operation Flow
- The interaction with the brand identity takes place in different phases, first of all, the user's use of the menus and the packaging that contains the pizza, these materials have been specifically designed to be friendly and communicative, bringing to the consumer all the souls of the brand and its vision. Secondly, the user with the social part, specifically designed to respect the corporate graphic coordinated and to make the published contents interesting and visible. Finally, the brand interacts with its users at the point of sale and in the materials associated with it, here the environment has been designed to allow the brand's client to immerse himself in his essence so that he can appreciate its peculiarities and understand its principles.
