The Design

About Vitto Merkidentiteit

Vitto is een Italiaans voedingsmerk dat met een eigentijdse visuele aanpak is ontwikkeld voor de Britse markt. Het ontwerp wijkt bewust af van de rustieke en traditionele codes die gangbaar zijn in de branding van Italiaanse voeding. In plaats daarvan gebruikt het levendige kleuren, vereenvoudigde illustraties en heldere typografie om energie, speelsheid en emotionele warmte uit te drukken, waardoor een moderne en toegankelijke identiteit voor dagelijks gebruik ontstaat.

Design Challenge: The main challenge was interpreting Italian food culture beyond clichés, transforming a deeply rooted collective memory into a contemporary visual language. The project involved questioning what “Italianity” represents today and redefining it as an evolving cultural narrative rather than a fixed aesthetic code.
Research: The research behind Vitto aimed to reinterpret Italian food culture as a visual identity capable of travelling across borders. We studied the rituals of everyday Italian kitchens, the warmth of shared meals and the vibrant tones of Mediterranean ingredients, analysing how these elements shape a collective perception of “Italianity.” Through colour studies, typographic exploration, and illustration development, we translated these cultural codes into a contemporary graphic system that balances authenticity and accessibility. The result is a distinctive identity that preserves the emotional richness of Italian heritage while adapting it to modern lifestyles, demonstrating how cultural tradition can evolve into a scalable design language with tangible impact on business positioning, consumer perception, and contemporary brand design.
Inspiration: The project was inspired by the convivial spirit of Italian food culture and its deep emotional connection to family, community and togetherness. The design draws from traditional Italian ingredients, everyday meals and the joy of shared dining, translated into a fun, accessible aesthetic suited to contemporary lifestyles.
Project Duration: The project began in 2021 with its initial launch in Japan, establishing the brand’s first international presence. In 2023 the range was significantly expanded, marking a key phase of creative and strategic development. In 2024 Vitto entered the UK market, where the latest evolution of the brand identity was finalised and implemented.
Operation Flow: Vitto’s identity was built as a joyful, contemporary food world where colour and simplicity guide every choice. Each pack blends bold hues with playful ingredient illustrations, creating a clear, friendly visual language across categories. In the final range, the unified geometry, vibrant palettes and appetising product focus express a brand that feels upbeat, accessible and instantly recognisable on shelf
