Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties
"Unicorn" has a dual meaning: it signifies the mythical animal "Unicorn", aligning with the brand's weekly flavor launches, and it can be dissected into "Uni" and "CORN," representing "university" (as the food truck targets college students near universities) and "the taco". The exclamation mark at the end of the logo mirrors the third letter "i," a distinctive punctuation mark in Spanish.
Dimensions & Packaging
Loyalty card 90mm x 54mm

Logo, visual identity, branding, corporate identity, graphic design, food identity, New York
Production Technology
The logo is easily applied to stationery, packaging and menu designs, and other various applications including loyalty card, balloon, badges, taco truck graphic, apron and tape designs.
Design Challenge
This brand design challenge is how to make every element in the design closely connected to the brand's core, ultimately forming a cohesive and unified visual system. Like the logo design which skillfully incorporates various pieces of information, such as the brand's origin, product characteristics, and target audience, into a simple graphic without losing uniqueness and detail.
Research
The overall logo takes a semi-circular shape, cleverly mirroring the appearance of Taco corn tortillas. The letters "i" in "UNi" in the name, along with the exclamation mark at the end, form a mirrored pattern, adhering to the rules of Spanish grammar.
Inspiration
This is a rebranding project for Unicorn Taco, a New York-based taco brand specializing in Mexican food. The design features a lively and bold color palette, complemented by badge graphics that resonate with the college student identity. These elements work together to create a more enticing brand image, appealing to a youthful audience.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2021 and finished in September 2021 in Beijing, China.
Operation Flow
The design features a lively and bold color palette, complemented by badge graphics that resonate with the college student identity. These elements work together to create a more enticing brand image, appealing to a youthful audience. Additionally, each product name in the menu design cleverly incorporates words closely related to college life, such as "all-nighter," "group project," "brainstorm," and more, ensuring that every element in the design is closely connected to the brand's core, ultimately forming a cohesive and unified visual system.
