Dunkin Donuts

Brand identity — rebrand

A rebrand that drops the rounded, friendly Dunkin of the last decade for something louder — a wordmark cut from geometry, a hot palette of yellow, pink and red, and packaging that talks back to whoever is holding it.

How it is built

Two halves of a donut

The D is a ring split down the middle and pulled apart — one half pink, one half red — so the letter is the product. Very simple, minimal, shape-like: every other letter is cut from the same circles and straight edges, which is what lets the mark hold together at any size and read from across a room.
