Don Ruco is a heartfelt brand conceived by a close-knit group of seven brothers, dedicated to preserving the memory of their beloved father, Don Pedro Díaz, affectionately known as "Ruco" - a term of endearment in Mexican slang meaning "old guy." The brand's essence is deeply rooted in family love and nostalgia, honoring the legacy of their late father.
Creating a brand that could encapsulate the spirit of Don Pedro Díaz while infusing a touch of sophistication and western charm was no easy feat. The challenge lay in designing a logo that could symbolize the essence of their father, craft a distinct identity that reflects the rich culture of Oaxaca, and establish a cohesive visual language for their products across diverse categories.
The logo, a medium abstraction of Don Pedro Díaz's face, stands as a timeless representation of his legacy. In a perfect fusion of Oaxacan heritage and Californian craftsmanship, Don Ruco's flagship products are the Crafted Cocktail Salts, thoughtfully made using indigenous ingredients like grasshoppers, agave worms, and mole, all locally sourced from Oaxaca.
