Postcard Foods needs a playful and nostalgic logo to attract travelers

Food & Drink

Postcard Foods offers globally inspired food to locals and visitors through their personalized eye-catching food trailer off I-70. They're looking for a design that has a recognizable shape, and evokes the nostalgia of a mid-century American road trip. While based in the Rocky mountains which is a big part of our current business concept, the logo shouldn't be too screamingly mountain-themed, as our business might be expanded to other vacation destinations later on. Subtle nods are preferred. Because the users will interact with the Postcard Foods logo either from their phones, or literally seeing it as they drive down the main drag of a small mountain town, the logo should be bold, clean, and iconic. Our food trailer will offer ready-to-eat food on-site, but its focus will be on refrigerated take-home casseroles and soups to be eaten during ones vacation, as an alternative to being stuck each night eating at expensive and inconvenient restaurants, or having to do ones own food shopping and cooking. Our dishes are named for their area of origin (e.g. Tel Aviv tahini panini), are made from clean, wholesome ingredients, and are allergen and food sensitivity friendly. The trailer aims to evolve into a more permanent brick-and-mortar food market and cafe that will continue to offer diverse prepared foods, as well as smoothies and groceries. Once this secondary stage has proven to be successful, the goal is to pursue additional distribution channels to get on the shelves of established grocers in the Rockies.

What Postcard Foods represents... Postcard Foods is the sort of outpost that draws you in with its garish, adventurous, nostalgic charm, and calls you back whenever you’re curious for something new. Maybe you’re passing through to somewhere extreme, or heading home from a long one, the takeaway from Postcard Foods makes dinnertime Postcard Foods is a throwback to a simpler time, when friends would simply get into the car and start cruising west. It's the out there, largest twine ball in the world, roadside attraction that you ironically send a postcard home to your friends about to show what a weird place this country can be at its far ends. What kind of vehicle would Postcard Foods be? Postcard Foods isn't necessarily American, but it's definitely Americana. It's strong, well built, and proud of its quality. If Postcard Foods was a piece of heavy mining machinery, it would have PROUDLY FORGED IN IDAHO SPRINGS, COLORADO raised in steel letters, front and center Postcard Foods is well constructed but each edge and corner is created artistically and thoughtfully like an Airstream trailer.

Postcard Food is thoughtful enough to ask how your mother’s doing... Dinner has gotten complicated. Maybe you’ve searched 17 google reviews for that one everyone liked just to find out they don’t have a table big enough for your party.

What separates us from our competitors is the way we value your life and that you should enjoy spending it with a delicious dinner that’s inspired and inspiring and reminds you of that trip you’ve been dying to go on once all of the kids are done with high school and your partner isn’t working so hard.
