Over the course of 8 weeks in the AIGA Mentor Program with Stephen Doulas, I created the branding system of Cayo’s! Panaderia. As a young child, my family and I used to visit a bakery down the street where my grandparent’s lived in Mexico. There was fresh and hot sweet bread every single day, and you could smell it as you walked down to the bakery. The bakery, known as Panaderia Vasquez, was operated by two brothers, and the main owner was nicknamed “Cayo” (CAH-YO). Anytime we would make a trip to get bread, we’d say, “We’re going to Cayo’s”, and everyone knew what that meant. This spot has a special place in my heart, and I wanted to imagine what a brand would look like for it if it had existed.
