The Colorado-based restaurant brand has changed up its look.

"When we got down to business, it was all about returning the imperfection of the human hand to the visual identity and giving it a structured, yet DIY feel." according to the agency behind the rebrand, Wunder Werkz. "The primary logo mark was inspired by 1970’s and 80’s punk posters and was accompanied by a fully-custom, variable-weight font, which we aptly named Dirty Pete which takes on the characteristics of xeroxed and screen printed letter distortions in its letter variants."
