Slam began in early 2007 when high school graduates and best friends Amy Travers and Richelle Rolli moved to the big city of Chicago. Both art students at Columbia College Chicago, they were constantly bombarded with a multitude of art in all different forms. They also were plagued with being poor college students who were hungry between classes for a cheap delicious bite of food that was as fast and on the go as their busy schedules were. After months of brain storming, they came up with their idea: a food truck based on an art form. It was to be dedicated to that yummy on the go bite menu they had so been craving but were unable to find in the current market. Slam is a sandwich truck on the go that revolves around the illustrious art of graffiti. By combing a street art with a product sold on the street, the two create quite the combination. Each sandwich is designed by every individual customer and we provide the “meat and bones”. Graffiti is an art form based on each individual artist and it is an independent act based on a particular persons design style. This correlates with the idea of “sandwiches by their own design”. Nothing is better than having a product made to reach a customers direct needs and that is where Slam steps in and takes the reigns.

The color palette consists of nine basic colors. They are simple and relateable. By keeping them flat and clean, they don’t take away from the brand but add another cohesive element. They contrast well against the images of graffiti but are not intrusive because some or all are present in the actual graffiti pieces.

There are only four ways to use the Slam logo. We like to keep it simple and clean. This way when used on images of graffiti, the customer can still read our logo. As well, it creates a cohesion in our brand in color and typeface.

There are three typeface options that can be used throughout all aspects of the company including but not limited to business cards, letterhead, menu, etc. The typeface choice was based on the idea of keeping the brand fresh and clean. The graffiti is colorful and overly designed. By using clean and simpified type, it tones down the use of color and graffiti graphics while also making it easier for the customer to read up close and from afar.

Graffiti imagery is important because it will alter the way Slam is portrayed to customers. We want clean images that reflect a positive vibe about and towards graffiti. The images must be vibrant and use bright colors that reflect some or all of the color palette. Type and image is both acceptable as long as appropriate to the message and audience. It will be seen by all ages.

Dear Customer, Here is the background company information you inquired about. Slam began in early 2007 when high school graduates and best friends Amy Travers and Richelle Rolli moved to the big city of Chicago. Both artstudents at Columbia College Chicago, they were constantly bombarded with a multitude of art in all different forms. They also were plagued with being poor college students who were hungry between classes for a quick delicious bite of food that was as fast and on the go as their busy schedules were. After months of brain storming, they came up with the idea of a food truck based on an art form. It was to be dedicated to that yummy on the go bite menu they had so been craving but were unable to find in the current market. Slam is a sandwich truck on the go that revolves around the illustrious art of graffiti. By combing a street art with a product sold on the street, the two create quite the combination. Each sandwich is designed by every individual customer and we provide the “meat”. Graffiti is an art form based on each individual artist and even though some may claim themselves to be a part of groups of other artists with the same goals, it is still an independent act and based on a particular persons design style. This correlates with the idea of “sandwiches by their own design”. Nothing is better than having a product made to reach a customers direct needs and that is where Slam steps in and takes the reigns.
