Amigo Brand Identity | Serious Studio

Amigo

We Take You Further

Amigo was essentially born out of the passion to help. In the new normal, where hundreds and thousands of Filipinos are cooped up inside their homes, empowering people through the safe means available, delivery, can be a challenge. At the core of it all — bringing both essentials and wants to everyone — is the intent to connect and to uplift each other’s lives — and Amigo knew it was a need it had to fill.

A NEW KITCHEN WITH FAMILIAR FLAVORS

After the success of Hong Kong Little Kitchen, it wasn’t a surprise when the team behind it decided to venture into another restaurant concept. Customers were hungry for another delightful culinary experience, and they delivered just that. Much like its sister kitchen, Roasts Kitchen Company wanted to offer enjoyable and authentic Hong Kong cuisine—still very focused on its impressive selection of roasts, and still very, very delicious.

The logo mascot is an imaginative fusion of riders and retro characters. We wanted to convey comfort in a subtle way, hence the mascot hinging on the familiarity of games we used to play, with the friendliness and reliability of partner-riders. With inclusivity at the forefront of Amigo, the mascot is easily and freely up to anybody to interpret.

The accompanying type for the logo is stylised to express action. Slightly skewed towards the right with small accents — like a flourish in the letter “A” and an arrow in the letter “G” — the type evokes a sense of motion that isn’t rigid and isn’t furious. Instead, it shows that Amigo can take you anywhere, whichever direction you need it to.

Apart from the arrow being a defining shape for Amigo, the idea of connection was also fully fleshed out in the illustrations and other brand assets. We illustrated some scenes that were inspired by retro board games and those wooden bricks we used to play as kids, creating cities that you and your friends would make and explore—quite easily with Amigo around.

Humanising the product didn’t just mean creating a mascot for the brand, but also highlighting what makes them more human. Through the brand identity, we made sure that we get to feature the delivery service but also emphasize that this service is established with the human in the centre — knowing the needs of the people, pioneering inclusivity in the industry, and setting life back in motion after a long pause.
