Pizzamax Rebrand

Pizzamax Rebrand is a comprehensive visual identity redesign project for a Lithuanian pizza restaurant chain, executed with meticulous attention to detail and strategic brand positioning. The project, completed in 2019 by Lithuanian designer Salvita Bingelyte, represents a significant transformation from an inconsistent visual identity to a cohesive, modern brand expression. The redesign's distinctive feature lies in its innovative typographic treatment, where the words pizza and max are strategically displayed on different sides of business collateral, creating an engaging visual dialogue. The design philosophy incorporates anthropomorphic elements in the letterforms, particularly in the 'M' and 'X' characters, whose curved ends symbolically represent pizza makers with outstretched arms, effectively communicating the establishment's commitment to quick service and quality dining. The visual identity employs a classic Italian-inspired color palette of red and black on white backgrounds, striking a balance between traditional pizzeria aesthetics and contemporary design sensibilities. The comprehensive rebranding package encompasses business cards, letterhead, pizza boxes, and branded apparel, establishing a unified brand presence across all customer touchpoints. This design excellence was recognized with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to visual storytelling and brand communication. The project successfully addressed the challenge of maintaining existing customer loyalty while enhancing brand memorability and appeal to new audiences, demonstrating how strategic design thinking can transform a rushed, mismatched visual identity into a coherent, purposeful brand expression.
