Too Much For Your Senses to Take, Well Almost.

Located in the picturesque rolling hills of Dallas, OR, MAK Grills is truly a labor of love built with sweat, steel, and American Dreams. The company started humbly at a metalworking company as a side project to bring in some extra income and create more jobs. As a family of lifelong backyard BBQers with over 50 years of precision sheet metal fabrication experience, the decision to start manufacturing pellet grills was a no-brainer. 

They had long been disappointed by models that kept falling short of what they knew a pellet grill could be. So when deciding how to construct their own model, they all agreed that precision control and the genuine smoke flavor were a top priority. At MAK, every pellet grill is engineered for optimal performance, reaching the peak balance of temperature control and that rich smoke flavor that every BBQ fanatic strives for.

Colors & Typography

Invoking a barbeque-sauce-inspired twist on the traditional red, white, and blue seemed appropriate for a veteran-owned company proud of the fact that their grills are “100% American Made.” We wanted to evoke a sense of Americana without turning the branding and design into a red, white and blue, we chose to darken and mute the red and blue a bit, and replace the white in the color scheme with a very light grey, creating a theme that balances the patriotic with the smoke and haze that comes with barbequing.

Combining that palette with a type style that strongly nods to the inherently imperfect artistry of grilling was a top priority, which is what led us to a letterpress-style main font that was simultaneously bold and organic.
