Profile

Cross-media branding for UK importer of Spanish foods.

Simon Johnson already had the perfect name for his jamón importers: La Pata Negra (meaning black foot or leg in Spanish, synonymous with the best Iberian pigs, which produce the most delicious Iberian ham!)... so the logo seemed to draw itself: a black trotter that's also a bookmark; a little black pig roaming freely somewhere below, probably eating acorns.
