About Lord Qu Identitate Vizuală

Lord Qu este o identitate vizuală creată pentru un brand de gustări din Quzhou, China. Identitatea prezintă cultura tradițională culinară chineză într-un mod modern, adresat consumatorilor mai tineri. Un personaj inspirat de Confucius formează simbolul central, iar coada de păr a personajului este modelată sub forma unei chifle la aburi. Desene liniare de tip cartoon leagă personajul de motive istorice precum dragonul zburător, Templul lui Confucius și norii auspicioși. Un simbol reprezentând un nas de porc este aplicat pe aburitoare, veselă, lămpi și spătarele scaunelor din spațiul restaurantului.

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.
