Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Guidelines
This project involved the re-creation of a complete brand identity and supporting marketing material for Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., a seafood restaurant brand inspired by Southern coastal culture and community-driven dining. The objective was to develop a cohesive and professional brand that reflects the company's values of freshness, warmth, authenticity, and approachability, while remaining suitable for both print and digital applications.
