Logo Breakdown
The Stacked Plates logo incorporates a set of ‘stacked plates’ in place of the Es, the top plate filled with abstract elements that represent healthy food that fuels and sustains.
An expanded typeface was chosen (shorter in height, and wider in width) to mimic the proportions of dinner plates and weight plates, pairing well with the size and shape of the plate element.
Subtle texture is added to refer to the natural, organic texture often seen in food/soil, as well as the subtle metal texture of weight plates. This texture helps to break up the harder lines of the logo, giving an overall feel of imperfection and authenticity.
The rectangular shape with angled corners surrounding the letterforms is a nod to the idea that this food is conveniently prepared and packaged for you, and references the shape of the takeout containers.
