Unique Properties: Lord Qu is a special snack brand in Quzhou. The original intention of this brand design is to inherit the traditional Chinese food culture.

Through the comprehensive application of vision and space system, this restaurant is endowed with a new and modern feeling.

Production Technology: The designers combine the IP image of Lord Qu with the classic historical symbols such as flying dragon, Confucius Temple, Xiangyun and allusions with the linear cartoon as the carrier to build the dialogue scene of Lord Qu and the food IP, which not only convey the product and brand value, but also carry the profound connotation of Chinese food culture.
Design Challenge: How to quickly occupy the consumers' cognition for a new brand is also a problem that needs to consider carefully in this case. Therefore, in the development of symbols and props, the designers use the pig nose extracted from two black pigs as brand visual hammer symbols.
Research: As the representative of breakfast category, the steamed stuffed bun is faced with the awkward situation of having category and no brand. In the market, there are more cheap and no quality products. However, the emergence of Lord Qu has filled in such a masrket gap.

The whole case takes Confucius as the cultural prototype. The chignon is designed into the shape of a bun. At the same time, the designers borrow the cognition of Kame Sennin in the hearts of young consumers to create the IP image.
