The design firm Ragged Edge developed a new tagline for the client—Taste a Whole New World—and renamed the chain Giraffe World Kitchen. RE designers built an authentic new voice for the restaurants based on the hand-lettered signage so common in restaurants around the world, creating a range of hand-lettered typefaces. The updated logo plays off the “giraffe’s unique ability to raise its head above the trees in search of new discoveries,” according to the RE website.
