Logotype
Primary Icon
The nomenclature is a double entendre.
It represents the spiritual and culinary aspects of Aztec culture — from which the restaurant’s owners are descendent —as well as an expression of the exaggerated delight one feels when tasting their amazing food options for the first time.

Infinite enthusiasm is a key aspect of the brand’s tone and voice. For the logotype that means bold, tall letterforms that signify exclamation.
The stylization of the logotype is inspired by neon signage in New York bodegas/restaurants and street graffiti.
The icon is inspired by Aztec historical depictions of Aztec gods and emojis. The default icon is an expression of shock and awe — the face one might make when they say, “HOLY MOLLI!”
