Brand Design for Burguesía: Gourmet Veggie Burgers

Matias Zapata

🍔 BRAND DESING | Burguesía – Gourmet Veggie Burgers with Royal Attitude 👑
About the Client: 🥦
Burguesía is not just a veggie burger brand—it’s a noble revolution in your freezer. With a bold blend of handmade production, local ingredients, and visual storytelling soaked in baroque irony, the project demanded a complete identity from scratch: packaging, illustrations, social media, motion reels, and an immersive art direction rooted in aristocratic aesthetic—but with memes.
From the beginning, we aimed to create a narrative universe where each burger is a character in a royal council. Every detail—down to the emoji-laced CTAs and After Effects animations—had to reflect that. The result: a unique voice that resonates across digital and print, with personality as crispy as the medallones themselves.
💥 Once the brand came to life, we activated the next phase: sell without sounding like you’re selling. Humor, design depth, and dopamine visuals do the talking. 🎯

The Concept:

Burguesía was born as a playful conceptual fusion between two mundos: 🧠 La burguesía — that decadent, opulent social class of European history, full of rituals, excesos y protocolos… 🍔 Burgers — that everyday, universal comfort food.
From this collision emerged a noble veggie brand with theatrical flair, where every burger isn't just a product—it's a character. A real character.
Each variety was personified as a member of the "Consejo Real Veggie": 👒 Lady Calabaza — Creamy, sweet, and refined | 🔥 Lord Lens — Rustic, smoky, intense | 🍄 Don Poroto de la Seta — Earthy, bold, mysterious | 🧿 Sir Garbanzo d’Oriente — Citrusy, light, exotic.

The entire worldbuilding draws inspiration from baroque visual language, classic painting, and heraldic forms, filtered through a lens of digital pop irony. It’s a postmodern veggie monarchy, where the brand speaks with elegance, pero no se toma demasiado en serio.
Burguesía is not just a name—it’s a concept and a storytelling strategy. It evokes high standards, but subverts them with a wink. It creates an aspirational world where eating plant-based is no longer solemn or “correct”… it’s fun and visual.
