The Design

About Chez Vous Identidad de marca

Chez Vous es una identidad visual creada para un restaurante belga en São Paulo, Brasil. La identidad reinterpreta íconos belgas, como Magritte, el Manneken Pis, la lluvia y las tradicionales papas fritas, a través de un estilo de ilustración sencillo. Los textos breves incluyen variaciones del dialecto belga, aportando un toque de humor a las composiciones gráficas. La identidad se aplica en menús, carteles, paneles, empaques y camisetas, otorgando unidad visual al restaurante. Los menús y carteles se imprimen en offset con colores CMYK, mientras que las camisetas se imprimen digitalmente.

Unique Properties: The rereading of the Belgian icons, such as Magritte, Manneken Pis, rain and traditional French fries allowed to create new interpretations and statements that can only be found in Chez Vous. Thus, the restaurant was permeated by graphic manifestations, such as posters, t-shirts, panels and more, providing a sense of visual unity and legitimately Belgian narrative.
Dimensions & Packaging: Menu, sheet format 520 x 380 mm and Kid Menu, sheet format 300 x 210 mm, printed on offset paper 300 g/m2., 4X40 colors (CMYK). Posters: sheet format 420 x 620 mm printed on offset paper 240 g/m2., 4X0 colors (CMYK). T-shirt printed on digital process.
Tags: Branding, Logotype, Package, label, illustration
Production Technology: Most of the graphic materials were produced in offset in CMYK-scale colors. The posters, with a theme of pop art, in contrast received classic frames. The t-shirts were produced in digital printing. Offset packaging is suitable for delivery.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to construct a visual identity that translated the essence of Belgian culture. And, above all, offer the customer Chez Vous an authentic experience of Belgian cuisine and culture. The definition of the graphic style of the illustrations was instrumental in translating simplicity and synthesis. The textual component was also fundamental to achieve the effect of authenticity, especially bringing dialectal variations to the graphic compositions.
Research: The Laika method is based on the synergy between linguistic and pictorial skills. Every project begins with the construction of meaning, an affirmation, and the need to design small graphic narratives. Thus, the visual identity project expands upon the detailed and strategic work of building an imaginary universe that represents the culture of the Chez Vous brand.
Inspiration: Chez Vous is the only Belgian restaurant in Sao Paulo. And its original culture was the starting point for the construction of the new visual identity, using the icons, tradition and sense of humor of the country to create a reinterpretation of icons, symbols and narratives, making a visual identity for Chez Vous.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Operation Flow: The visual identity project contributes to affirming the Belgian cultural essence of the restaurant Chez Vous, emphatically occupying the status of reference of Belgian gastronomy in the city of Sao Paulo. In addition, it allows the client to feel welcomed by the casualness and informality of the visual language and its narratives.
