Texas Chili Queens Brand Identity

Slinging Chili, With a Twist

Founder Ed Hambleton dug into his San Antonio roots and LGBTQ+ advocacy to come up the concept for his Texas Chili Queens food truck — and we created branding to celebrate the spirit behind this operation.

Type Studies &
Hand-crafted Lettering

We couldn’t find a perfect typeface to capture the essence of “Texas Chili” and “(drag) Queen” — so we hand-drew it… in lipstick… on a mirror. The Q is a lasso that marries the concepts of Texas Chili and Queens.

Logo
Design

We paired the hand-drawn “Queens” with a distressed slab serif typeface, a deep chili cayenne red plus metallic gold shimmer, and the perfect branding for this food truck was born.

Truck Wrap, Menus, Business Cards & More

We crafted a variety of different materials for cohesive branded visual system across the mobile storefront, menus, business cards, website, merch, and more.
