Laughing Planet logo variations featuring a planet graphic and text "Laughing Planet," "ESTD 2000," and tagline "Delicious. Nutritious. Expeditious." on a purple background, representing the brand's identity update.
Laughing Planet is a well-established health food restaurant with 16 locations in the U.S. – nine of which are in the Portland area. They serve healthful burritos, bowls, smoothies, and much more.

The Laughing Planet logo has come a long way since its original debut in 1995. The most recent refresh of the logo reflects the updated name (removing the word “cafe”) and is simplified to one color. The owner, Franz, wanted to breathe new life into the existing branding by pairing typefaces that better reflected the personality of the Laughing Planet brand.

“Laughing Planet’s green one-eyed planet is an icon in the Pacific Northwest. It was important that it remains recognizable and retain its quirky charm. Our goal was to continue to modernize the mark while simplifying it so it could easily be reproduced in one color.”
