The Design

About Meet Rebrand Branding

Meet is a Korean barbecue restaurant targeting young people. Client’s assignment for Mengchao, Hao and Sijia is to create an art direction and visual identity to express the vivid brand image and promote the various meats. The shapes of meats on the grill naturally present geometries. This idea leads them to the milestone of the concept, connecting different meats, seafood and vegetables with specified geometries. Various shape combinations and patterns give the geometries a playful and hot final touch.

Inspiration: The shapes of meats on the grill naturally present geometries, beef tongue as circle, pork neck as rounded rectangle, and beef rolls as cylinder. This idea leads us to the milestone of our concept, connecting different meats, seafoods and vegetables with specified geometries. Various shape combinations and patterns give the geometries a playful and hot final touch. We also take advantage of the most basic graphical element - grid, to represent grills, which is unexpected but also reasonable.

Operation Flow: This project started with a conversation with the client. Through the conversation, we find out the ethos of the brand.
