About the project, our role, our approach
The introduction
Foodizm serves four cuisines from one counter, grill, pizza, kebab and falafel.
Rami Abboud asked Mohammed Vaseeuddin to build an identity that could hold all four without splintering into four brands: one mark, one voice, one shopfront that reads clearly from the street and the delivery app alike.
Build the mark
Create the master logo and the three-plate device.
Set the voice
Set a friendly, appetite-led brand voice.
Build the system
Build a colour and type system for menu, signage and packaging.
Ready the lockups
Prepare delivery-app and shopfront-ready lockups.
- 01Discovery: map the four cuisines, the casual-dining audience and the street it competes on.
- 02Essence: turn "food as an everyday pleasure" into one ownable idea.
- 03System: logo, colour, type and packaging ready for kitchen and counter.
History and heritage
Brand origin story
Foodizm opened in Sydney in 2020 with a simple promise: bring the favourites people actually crave, a charcoal grill, a stone-baked pizza, a proper kebab, a fresh falafel, together under one roof.
The name fuses food with the suffix of belief, and the identity gives that everyday devotion a face: three plates, three pieces of cutlery, one appetite.
Mission, vision, promise, essence statement

The principles that guide Foodizm
Core values
Crave-worthy
Food people actively want, not just settle for.
Fast and fresh
Quick service without cutting the quality.
Everyone's table
Four cuisines so no one is left choosing last.
Honest value
Generous plates at a fair, transparent price.
Meaning, culture, interpretation
Brand essence
Name and symbol
"Food" plus the suffix "-ism", the grammar of devotion. The mark turns that into three plates carrying a fork, a knife and a spoon.
Cultural resonance
Grill, pizza, kebab and falafel are the shared language of casual eating across Sydney's mix of cultures.
Emotional recipe
Hunger, warmth and the easy pleasure of getting exactly what you felt like.
Interpretation for the brand
Lead with the three-plate device and the cuisine line; keep everything appetising, bright and uncomplicated.
Archetype, personality, tone of voice
Brand archetype
Friendly, unpretentious and welcoming, with a cook's pride in the plate. Foodizm talks like the person behind the counter who knows your order, warm, direct and a little playful, always about the food.

Logo, typography, colour, mood
Visual identity
Charcoal grills and stone ovens, bright produce, paper-lined trays, warm counter light and a clean three-colour signal system. Energetic and hungry, never fussy.
A bold geometric sans for the wordmark and menu headings, clean, modern and legible from across the street.
A neutral, highly readable companion for menu items, prices and packaging copy.

The mark, and how to protect it. Give it room, hold its proportions, and keep it on-system across every surface.
In their words
Managing a multi-kitchen QSR is operationally complex, and we needed a brand that simplified that experience for the customer. The resulting identity was clean, appetizing, and perfectly positioned for rapid scaling.

The struggle
Our multi-kitchen model was highly efficient on the back-end but risked confusing customers on the front-end. We needed a unified brand umbrella that made ordering intuitive and appetizing.
The evaluation
We sought a designer who could take operational complexity and distill it into a clean, user-friendly visual experience.
The execution
The branding exercise focused entirely on customer clarity. The visual hierarchy, packaging, and digital presence were designed to make the multi-cuisine offering feel seamless and exciting.
The result
A highly cohesive, appetizing brand identity that completely simplified the customer journey. It positioned us perfectly for franchising and rapid operational scaling.
