Fazoli’s came to us with an outdated visual identity, cluttered messaging, a confusing menu, and a disconnected digital experience. Our goal was to modernize the brand without losing what guests already loved - fast service, family-friendly value, affordable Italian favorites, and, of course, endless breadsticks. The refresh was designed to make Fazoli’s feel as distinctive as the concept itself: fast-food Italian with a personality all its own.

We set out to break the mold and build an identity system as distinctive as Fazoli’s itself. Fast-food Italian is a category of one, so the brand needed to stop borrowing cues from traditional Italian restaurants or typical quick-service chains and start owning its own visual world. The result was a bold, playful system rooted in pasta-inspired graphics, vibrant food-forward color, expressive typography, energetic photography, and a witty, welcoming voice.

Every touchpoint from menus and digital to packaging and store design was designed to feel more engaging, memorable, and unmistakably Fazoli’s.
