Brand Illustrations and Assets

Inspired by the Old West and Traditional Tattoos Commence Studio created a brand identity for Hey Hey’s Fried Chicken inspired by the old west and traditional tattoos. The hand-drawn illustrations featured iconic elements such as cowboys, roses, chickens, and horses. These illustrations were set against punchy backgrounds, making them stand out in a crowd of food trucks and helping Hey Hey’s gain a cult-like following.

The user-friendly interface made it easy for customers to learn about the pop-up, check the menu, and find the truck’s location. The site was built with user experience in mind, ensuring quick and easy access to information essential for a pop-up food truck.
