Graphic Design In the Wild – Day 10: Bagel King

Bagel King first appeared in Central Florida in 1977. The founders, Frank and Tina Perrotta opened the first location was in Winter Park. Their mission? Delight customers with NY style bagels.

Problem was, many Winter Park residents in 1977 didn’t know what a bagel was. But the local Jewish community spread the word and boom! 44 years later Bagel King is still thriving.

Their logo, “the royal bagel” we’ll call it, does have an early 90s clip-art feel. The Star of David on the crown, harkens back to Bagel King’s New York roots. But that’s all part of its charm. Bagel King doesn’t need some modern logo to validate it. Its logo, and it’s bagels get the job done.
