Gold Star Restaurants

Chili Differently.

It’s no secret we love our local chili parlors around Cincinnati. Especially ones like Gold Star that have been around for over 50 years. But, even the most beloved institutions need a refresh every now and then. So, that’s exactly what we did.

As you might imagine, contemporizing the long-standing Gold Star brand to be relevant in today’s world was no small task. Luckily, we like a good challenge. We found that the solution wasn’t in reinventing the iconic star brand mark (or the wheel). Instead, we evolved it to be friendlier and more versatile in a digital world.

Then, we built out a more robust toolkit that allowed the brand’s unique attitude to really shine – resulting in a revamped brand identity worthy of the Gold Star name.
