Original logo

Re-designed logo

To achieve a logo that represented what the brand stands for, we drew inspiration from the Food of Gods icon–elements of the lotus and amphorae create a concept that is both unique and relevant to the brand. By using the shapes of lotus petals to form the ends of the O's and D's within the type, the beauty and symbolism of the lotus flower were mirrored while still representing its purity and eternity.

Additionally, the joining of the O’s in the design represents the journey of the spices and the prosperity of the brand. The O and D show different elements coming together, just like the Food of Gods spices come from different countries and cultures.

To represent regeneration, human-to-earth connection, and healing, the G is designed to symbolize a serpent. The serifs of the type were designed to mimic the handle of the amphorae, adding an extra touch of elegance to the overall design.

Overall, the final logo effectively represents the Food of Gods brand, highlighting its rich culture while also showcasing its values and unique qualities. It is a beautiful and timeless design that will continue to represent the brand for years to come.
