Smelted, an up-and-coming company making artisanal pizza from a wood-oven mobile truck, was in need of a brand boost following its launch. OffWhite Co transformed the brand to better communicate its story and resonate with consumers as a fun, playful pizza-maker using fresh ingredients. OffWhite suggested a name change from the former Copper Crust Co to Smelted to better reflect its cool, hip vibe. The design and rebrand transformation includes an edgier logo that mimics the Rolling Stones-inspired iconic tongue, whimsical characters for each pizza flavor and new tongue-in-cheek flavor names.
