Start scrolling the roundup for fiery inspiration!

Shape logos

Shape logos provide a good structure for the design. Take Tabasco, for example. It has a shape logo composed of a diamond shape with a circular figure inside. This helps it stand out when applied to hot sauce bottles.

Different shapes relay a variety of meanings too. Like color psychology, you can use shapes to associate your brand with positive traits. Triangles can represent edginess, circles symbolize harmony, squares depict stability, etc. You can explore this and use it to your advantage.

Apart from messaging, this type of logo also provides visual prominence. The figure acts as a frame and gives a solid silhouette to your brand mark. Additionally, this makes the design less likely to be drowned out by other design elements when applied to different collaterals like brochures.

Pro tip: Try brand mascots

Whether it’s chili with a hat on or your nana who invented the sauce recipe, it helps to find a mascot for your brand. Pringles and Wendy’s are just some of the biggest food brands that do this. This brand representative makes your brand more memorable. The character will also be good standing as the focal point of your business logo. 

Text logos

It’s a common misconception that text-based designs are boring. But not the ones that you’ll see below. Lettering allows brands to communicate with the audience directly without using other elements that may serve as a distraction. 

The Hot Ones Hot Sauce is one of the most recognizable text logos in the world of spicy sauces. It has carried out this type of design well, and so can you.  

The key to creating a good chili logo is finding the perfect font. You can try restaurant-inspired fonts such as Thirsty Soft, Rigatoni, Dealers, and more. However, the internet is replete with font libraries like Google Fonts for additional inspiration. 

When picking a text logo, you always want it to be readable and scalable. It has to be easy to understand regardless of size.

Pro tip: Use appetizing colors

Some colors are more appetizing than others. Color psychology suggests that the colors yellow and red are best for food brands as it encourages appetite. These colors have an eye-catching quality and, at the same time, help influence your buyers into purchasing your sauces. So, if you’ve ever wondered why fast food brands like McDonald’s love using this color scheme, now you know. 

Illustration logos

Drawings are great for adding decorations to your branding. Most importantly, it helps bridge gaps in culture through the use of universal and self-explanatory symbols. 

By adding simple illustrations of hot peppers, you are instantly informing your audience that your product is spicy. However, you can use other objects to help signify your goods. Try using illustrations of spices, flames, the grim reaper, and other imagery that is relevant to your goods. 

Sriracha even uses a picture of a chicken to represent the sauce’s tenacity. You can be as creative as you want with your logo design. 

Make sure that you use simple vectors. Remember that overly detailed illustrations take away from the adaptability of your design. As a result, you may end up with something that is hard to read.
