The One Burger — A disruptive launch, ready for tomorrow

The One Burger: a bold, simple brand for a Barcelona burger restaurant

I led the brand for The One, a burger restaurant in Barcelona, working with the FUGU team: naming, strategy, identity, packaging and website. A deliberately limited menu called for an essential, confident brand: “The One.” And that's it.

The challenge

I partnered with FUGU's team to develop a brand for a client in Barcelona, Spain, who needed a powerful identity that could turn his ideas into reality. After several collaborative and creative meetings with FUGU and the client, we designed “The One.”

The goal

  • Create a bold yet simple design for the restaurant.
  • Match the owner's tone with a brand that embraces the spirit of the place.
  • Future-proof the design.
  • Limit the aesthetics to the essentials: the menu offers very few burgers, and the design should reflect that.
  • Build a strategy for the whole product.
  • Develop an enticing website.
  • Give birth to the name and every visual.
  • Create packaging that holds both the food and drinks and the concept behind the brand.

The solution

I led the brand side of the project and its translation into other media such as the website. My role was to provide a clear rationale for every design decision and to support the team towards a simple yet powerful brand image: consistent, and ready for new challenges.

How I helped

  • A strong brand and name that live up to the owner's ideas.
  • Packaging that is stackable and bindable, with two areas: one for cold drinks and another to keep the food warm as long as possible.
  • The strategy behind the brand and the rationale that kept everyone on track.
  • Website design for desktop and mobile, plus developer hand-off.
  • AI-generated content to save costs during the client's concept approvals.
  • Facilitation in client meetings, so both sides knew which aspects were flexible and which were not.
  • And lots of passion, as usual.
