In our version the man is a woman and the snake head abstraction opens like a ripe fruit at the will of the venus archetype. Are they menacing teeth or are they peppers or flames? They can be any of those. Either way we wanted it to seem a little more dangerous than your usual products on the shelf. My bet is that people that like chimichurri also like adventure. The figure is dynamic but simple so it reduces well. I even threw in the "V." Of course we realize people are not going to understand any of this when they see the logo and for us that is fine. I believe we are drawn to what we don't understand. Marketers fail to recognize this so they pander to mediocrity. You don't see many logos like Alfa Romeo today. Mystery and marketing are words you don't hear in the same sentence very often and I think it is interesting. Back when I was in a big agency I was taught the black arts. You know... Every successful ad plays on one or more of the three things always on our mind. 1) Sex, 2)Food, 3) Death. If you know how to play these and can see the puppet masters at work you realize how powerful the formula is but I think there is one underlying theme in all of these that goes unnoticed and underplayed and that is mystery. It is what makes life worth living. It is what draws us in. What's the fun of having it all figured out?
