I just can't stay away from packaging designs! This week I thought I would share just a few of the local pizza box designs with you.
This first image (sorry the picture is so bad) is for the current Pizza Hut large pizza box. The only thing on the cover that points to Pizza hut is the logo superimposed on the mug. Otherwise, their logo isn't anywhere on the cover at all. This image immediately caught my eye due to the typography in the mug.
The second image is one of Domino's boxes. They tend to have a couple of different one's that they rotate between, but, this one is one of my favorites. Who doesn't like to do mazes. Haha! Plus it has so many interesting facts, too.
Who doesn't know the catch phrase "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza - Papa John's"? If you live in the C-U area you should! Papa John's has been using this box (or a variation of it) for quite some time. There's not really anything wrong with it, either.
Rosati's (sorry it has a receipt over it) is a bit more formal looking to me. It has an illustration of a neighborhood on it which gives it an inviting, "come see us" feel.
Lastly, I've included Little Caesars. Their boxes have changed over the years, but one thing hasn't changed much at all - their logo. As far back as I can remember they've had their "Little Caesar guy" on their logo & I get a kick out of him. I don't know if it's the style he's drawn in or the personality they give him in their commercials. I just know I like him.
I know I've missed quite a few of the local pizza joints, but, I thought 5 were plenty. If you're still interested, just look up "champaign urbana pizza places" online - you won't be disappointed!
I really like the Domino's and Pizza Hut boxes. I really like the type in PH, but I also like the organization of the design in Domino's. I also like the idea of the grid in Domino's because you can pick and choose which part you want to read on the box and get the concept. Whereas PH, with the exception of the bold type, you have to read the whole thing to get the idea. However, I really like these two.
