Mother Mary’s Market & Rizco Design Are Golden
What happens when two Italians marry the perfect blend of ingredients, with the goal of leaving an everlasting impression? The end-result is an award-winning brand for Mother Mary’s Market. Mike Seip, founder of Mother Mary’s Market, and Keith Rizzi, partner of local design firm, Rizco Design, recently were awarded two gold medals by the Art Director’s Club of NJ at their gala event on April 23rd at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany. The Manasquan-based team won two out of ten gold medals that were awarded for the Mother Mary’s Market Logo and Business Identity System.
Mother Mary’s Market, located on Main Street in Manasquan, is a unique Italian market where “Mary” is the chef. With 60 years of experience cooking in New York, Mary inspired her son, Michael to open up the market in early 2010 and has been sharing generations of old style Italian recipes with local customers. Rizco Design was enlisted to develop the identity and brand architecture that was implemented on bags, menus, business cards, web site and environmental graphics for the market.
“The experience of having a local brand come to life, was really rewarding,” said Keith Rizzi, Partner of Rizco Design. “The Mother’s Mary’s Market brand brings New York chic to Manasquan’s doorstep with a touch of mom’s home cooking … Not to mention that the food is fantastic!”
