Punk Dogz

Alt text: Punk Dogz gourmet hot dog brand identity by Studio Gardiner, featuring punk-inspired bulldog illustrations, bold logo design, packaging and merchandise.

Project description

Punk Dogz needed an identity that could do two things at once — feel genuinely rebellious while remaining welcoming to families. The brief was to stand out in a crowded market and own a tone that most food brands wouldn't dare attempt.

The concept leans into contrast: fun and approachable on the surface, with a punk streak running through everything. At the centre is a striking logo — a cartoon dog gleefully eating a hot dog — paired with bold, unapologetic typography drawn from classic punk album artwork.

The result is a high-impact brand with real character, built to work across signage, packaging and merchandise — and impossible to mistake for anyone else.
