Brand Identity for El Idealista by Fugitiva
Located in the heart of Guadalajara, El Idealista is a pastry shop where daily baking with love takes place.
El Idealista seeks to leave his personal touch on all his creations. Rubén, his founder, daily camouflages himself in this character to manipulate the best ingredients, highlight their flavors, textures, and colors, and transform them into unique pastries.
In this story, we translated and shaped different elements into an emotional and uniform visual identity.
Our character plays and juggles with different ingredients and tools to create, with love and flavor, the best cookies and pies. We want to transmit Ruben’s story to this character, who, before working in the pastry world, was a juggler and who found in pastry the passion to overcome personal obstacles.
Similar to pastries, the logo is made up of many textures to give the brand's identity a distinctive and unexpected touch.
Colors are our bold and strong ingredients that give voice to the creative and visionary world of El Idealista.

Brand Identity for Alec’s Ice Cream by Hatch
Alec’s Ice Cream is the first of its kind – regenerative A2 milk that’s good for the planet and tummies. They came to Hatch because their pack and mission were getting lost on shelf. We set out to educate and delight consumers, all while highlighting their ice cream that was out of this world delicious. We might say the result was super*naturally good!
Hatch used playful illustrations to exude a magical flavor sense, and textured layers speak to the regenerative soil. The bright colors are hopeful, with fun and inviting typography. The photography (by RC Rivera) features decadent flavor combinations and showcases the premium texture. When you bring it all together, it’s a show-stopping brand.
Hatch Team: CD Nicole Flores, Sean Morse, Ryann Woods, Richard Eriksson, Brenda Bender, Laila Moire-Selvage Photography: RC Rivera (on pack), Yuya Parker (case study images)
