Chonker Burger is a fast food restaurant that gives you a sense of nostalgia and playfulness. Chonker burgers come in different sizes, but in no doubt, they are indeed chunky.

The name “Chonker” is a twist on the combination of the word “chunky” and “burger”. The Chonker brand’s retro look targets audience of all ages with its visual appeal. The brand’s tagline “Become what you eat” is a reflection of the brand message—unapologetically enjoy your ultimate comfort food, in the best way possible.

The chonker mascot is inspired by vintage cartoon characters, particularly inkblot animation. The imbalanced proportion of the mascot calls out the word chunky behind the brand’s name. The roundness with a touch of imperfection in the illustration brings out a pleasant front to welcome its customers. On the typography selection, the heavy strokes and curves in the Modak font represent the shapes of burger buns and patties. The brand colours, red and yellow symbolize the ketchup and mustard combination but also provide warmth to the Chonker brand.

The brand application is where the its personality stands out the most. A sprinkle of humour on the brand t-shirt, “88 EAT-A WAY” and the spelled-out letters of the phone number “(1800) OH-LAWD” are a tribute to the vintage commercial designs. The sentence, “One patty, two patty, three patty, four…” expresses the literal count of the physical product and the abstract feeling of childhood memories. The sticker designs show a range of logo compositions and their interactions with the brand illustration. The letter O in the wordmark can be replaced by two variations of the illustration. The mascot itself and its face both illustrates the letter O, and they can also be used as stand-alone graphic elements. The chunky style is implemented throughout the brand and is also present in the beverage bottle selection.
