GG’s Gelato
Sun, sea, sandals, and sundaes
Introduction
GG’s (Gower Gelato) is a gelato brand and parlour in the refurbished Estuary restaurant in Penclawdd, the Gower peninsula, Swansea.
With big ambitions to fill freezers and take on the ice cream big guns of south Wales and beyond, the founding team sought a big bold brand with a personality and stand-out appeal to match their passion and craft. They asked us to help name and bring to life their vision — creamy, playful, and spirited,with a big dollop of happy. We built a brand strategy that positions GG’s as a fun and playful brand, with a clear purpose centered on creating everyday shared happiness around each flavourful scoop.

A cuddly polar bear mascot is accented by soft pastel colours, patterns, and textures, simplicity is the hero. As the brand grows beyond its bricks-and-mortar confines, into tubs, supermarket freezers, and homes, an asset library of quirky, chirpy animated characters can grow with it. This spirit provides a basis for developing a distinct and stronger brand identity that was applied to the store experience, packaging, and motion graphics.
A lickable logo
There can’t be many things in life that brings smiles and joy to folks young and old in the same way as ice cream and its creamier cousin, gelato. And with gelato typically offering fewer calories, less sugar, and lower fat content, it’s happier still. So our logo reflected this — smiles nestled in the elbow of the ‘g’s’, forming a lickable scoop of an identity…
We wanted a look that gave us both mass-appeal, captured the joy we put into our gelatos and stood out against what everyone else does. We’re really pleased with the result and after a lot of work, we can’t wait to see where we go.
