From tradition to expansion:
how we revived the essence of
Boutique do Pão de Ló to shape
the brand’s future
Boutique do Pão de Ló is a confectionery from Santa Catarina that has become a regional reference in the Vale do Itajaí area. In 2023, it celebrated 10 years of history and began a new chapter with the goal of expanding its business through a franchise model. To achieve this objective, a series of strategic updates were necessary, including brand repositioning, modernization, and the development and standardization of its visual identity.

As a well-established brand in the region, we recognized the importance of revisiting its journey, bringing back visual, textual, and verbal elements used throughout the past decade. Based on this reflection, we carried out updates aligned with the new phase of Boutique do Pão de Ló, ensuring the brand’s expressions remain authentic and deeply connected to its essence.
subtle details that speak
When it came to visual identity, we identified a challenge: although the name Boutique do Pão de Ló is strong, its length posed limitations in various applications. With this in mind, we redesigned the typography, opting for a more condensed version. We also explored typographic details such as inktraps and the tail of the letter “Q,” giving the brand more personality and versatility across different applications.
expanded visual universe
The new identity also features the use of contrasting colors, diverse textures, graphic elements that connect with the sensory world of confectionery, as well as new visual signatures. Everything was designed to make the brand dynamic, replicable, and consistent across different formats of both company-owned stores and franchises.
expanded visual universe
As part of this process, we invited Anderson Sabadini to collaborate on the creation of a manifesto in the form of poetry. The premise was clear: each verse needed to convey its own message and be strong enough to stand on its own.

With this material in hand, we turned the manifesto into a key element of the brand’s visual identity, applying small excerpts on packaging, at points of sale, and across other institutional materials - enriching the brand universe and making it even more expressive and dynamic.​​​
manifesto
Doce é sinônimo de tudo que é bom
O sorriso, o carinho, o afago
A lembrança doce, o sonho doce, o fim de tarde com alguém especial
Doce é tudo que afaga o peito e acarinha a alma

É por isso que quando tem bolo saindo do forno a gente chega
E se reúne para dividir
Junta todo mundo para compartilhar
E o cheirinho bom que vem pelo ar leva a gente de volta para o mesmo lugar

Um momento feliz, um dia especial, uma lembrança 
Uma receita de família que passa de mãe para filha 
Que envolve quem chega, mantém viva a memória de quem se foi 
E faz a gente lembrar de como é gostoso viver

Um doce pode mudar a vida da gente mudando apenas um momento, que reverbera e transforma
Colore o dia, enfeita o tempo, embeleza o mundo todo
Doce pode ser um presente que a gente se dá, uma lembrança que a gente cria
Igual sorriso, que acompanha os melhores momentos dos melhores dias

E o calorzinho bom que vem do forno esquenta também o coração  
Aquece, por dentro e ao redor, encanta os olhos, faz brilhar o sorriso, acalenta o espírito
Bem que a nossa vó já dizia: doce é sinônimo de tudo que é bom
E o que é bom a gente divide.


Sweet is a synonym for everything good.
The smile, the affection, the embrace. The sweet memory, the sweet dream, the late afternoon with someone special. Sweet is everything that soothes the heart and caresses the soul.
That’s why, when there’s cake coming out of the oven, we gather. We come together to share. We bring everyone in to enjoy, and the delicious aroma floating through the air takes us right back to the same place.
A happy moment, a special day, a memory. A family recipe passed from mother to daughter. That welcomes those who arrive, keeps alive the memory of those who are gone. And reminds us how wonderful it is to live.
A sweet treat can change our lives by changing just one moment, which echoes and transforms. It colors the day, adorns time, makes the whole world more beautiful. Sweetness can be a gift we give ourselves, a memory we create. Just like a smile, accompanying the best moments of the best days.
And the comforting warmth from the oven also warms the heart. It embraces, inside and out, enchants the eyes, makes smiles shine, soothes the soul. Just like our grandma used to say: sweet is a synonym for everything good. And what is good, we share.
design brought to life
With this solid foundation in place, the architecture firm Linha Catarina was responsible for translating the brand’s visual universe into physical spaces. The projects range from small kiosks to larger stores, all designed to faithfully express the new phase of Boutique do Pão de Ló at the point of sale.
