Bráz Elettrica key illustration: a figure holding a pizza slice under the wordmark

Bráz Elettrica

Bráz Elettrica

2025

The B-side of Bráz. An identity for a pizza house that runs on nights, records, and a mixed tongue—Italian, English, Portuguese—held together by a bolt of red.

01Rebrand

A house people already know, turned to face the night. The lockup stacks a serif BRÁZ over an inline ELETTRICA—tradition sitting on a current. Color does the rest: pomodoro, basilico, mozzarella.

02Brand ID

The lightning mark is the electric half of Elettrica. It sits behind type, on a coaster, in neon, on a pizza-box lid. Same shape, different temperature.

03Logo construct

ELETTRICA is built, not styled. Inline strokes lock to a construction grid so the word can run neon, vinyl, or a box lid without losing its measure.

04Colors

A kitchen palette with voltage. Three primaries carry the identity. Five accents—nero, luce, impasto, arancia, limone—season the illustrations, the nights, and the room.

05Illustration

Four characters, four rooms. The illustration system talks the way the nights do—articles and nouns swapping languages, clothes as loud as the records.

06Night names

Dippin’ crosta. Funghi nights. Speziata sounds. Italian ingredients, English rooms, Portuguese connectors. The flyers mix serif, inline, and script the same way the name mixes tongues.

07In use

The identity has to survive a neon tube, a napkin, a pizza box, and a Tuesday night. Hard light, red walls, records behind the bar.

O lado B da Bráz. Because a house that already knows how to make pizza still needs a current to run the night.
