About Meet Rebrand Branding

Meet er en koreansk grillrestaurant rettet mod unge mennesker. Klientens opgave for Mengchao, Hao og Sijia er at skabe en kunstretning og visuel identitet for at udtrykke det levende mærkebillede og promovere de forskellige kødtyper. Formerne af kød på grillen præsenterer naturligvis geometrier. Denne idé fører dem til konceptets milepæl, der forbinder forskelligt kød, skaldyr og grøntsager med specificerede geometrier. Forskellige formkombinationer og mønstre giver geometrierne et legende og varmt sidste touch.

Design Challenge: How to turn the strong emotional/physical feeling we get from bbq into a consistent but flexible visual language.
Research: Our research included 3 parts

1. Communications with the client.

2. Feeling research. we ate a lot of bbq(lol) to immerse ourselves in the emotion which bbq can directly convey. Moodboard is the result of this part. in the moodboard.

3. visual research.
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.
Project Duration: 3 mouths
Executed in NYC and shanghai
Operation Flow: This project started with a conversation with the client. Through the conversation, we find out the ethos of the brand. Through further conversation and research, we gathered more information about the tone and language of Meet. Base on that, we developed the look and feel for Meet. Then, we apply this visual language to applications around this brand.
