Overview

Angry Toast was born from a simple frustration: there were no truly great sandwiches in town. Ziko, the brand's hot-headed mascot, embodies that feeling, angry enough to smash mediocre sandwiches in search of something better. This identity transforms that frustration into a bold, playful café experience. Located in Bandra, Mumbai.

Angry Toast creates a space where people can come together over thoughtfully crafted sandwiches and specialty coffee, bringing new energy to a category that has long been overlooked. As the brand unfolds, Ziko's anger evolves into an invitation, welcoming everyone to discover what a great sandwich should actually taste like.

Highlights

My first real-world branding project to make some serious noise.

The branding and packaging have been getting an incredible response online.

And the best part? Ziko, the fiery little mascot, was imagined, designed, and strategically crafted by yours truly.
