About Fattoria il Gambero - Winery Visual Identity
Fattoria il Gambero placed itself on the market with a dynamic and contemporary approach, in order to enhance its own history, which dates back to 1880.
This is the reason for the trademark of the stylized “G”; it conveys the sense of a corkscrew uncorking a bottle and resembles the road leading to the company. The sans serif font adds substance to this somewhat abstract symbol and links its ancient past inexorably to the present.
The colors give the entire image an innovative touch, while certain characteristics of the past are preserved, for instance, in the embossed paper of the Brochure.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Fattoria il Gambero positioned itself on the market with a well-balanced approach in between the dynamic and the contemporary, while still greatly relying on its history, which dates back to 1880. The intention was thus to imbue the entire image with innovation, color and contemporaneity, while maintaining all the characteristics of the past, as in the embossed paper used for the Brochure. This project was handled at 360°, from the brand to the labels, from the website to the brochure. All communication was based on the owner's family, a big family who followed his father in a big project. The names of the wines found their inspiration in the horses of the owner’s grandfather.

- Production Technology
- The cleanliness and modernity of the wine labels, printed on a coated paper, was contrasted with the embossed paper of the brochure or the uncoated paper business cards to convey two different feelings: modernity, but backed by history.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2004 an finish on May 2013
- Inspiration
- The origin of the logo was a stylized G which conveyed the sense of a corkscrew uncorking a bottle and at the same time looked like the road leading to the company. The sans serif font makes this not entirely defined symbol more substantial and solid. The burgundy color was chosen to represent a full-bodied red wine like the Pinot Nero, one of the company’s battle horses. For labels the symbol G was used as a graphic sign, the colors reflects the type of wine: for younger wines the label is clear with colorful graphics while for wines most important the label base is colored with darker and shiny graphics.
