About Lord Qu Vizuálna identita

Lord Qu je vizuálna identita vytvorená pre značku občerstvenia v meste Quzhou v Číne. Identita predstavuje tradičnú čínsku kulinársku kultúru moderným spôsobom, ktorý oslovuje mladších spotrebiteľov. Ústredným symbolom je postava inšpirovaná Konfuciom, ktorej vlasový uzol je tvarovaný ako parená buchta. Lineárne kresby v komiksovom štýle spájajú postavu s historickými motívmi, ako sú létajúci drak, Konfuciov chrám a priaznivé oblaky. Symbol prasačieho nosa sa objavuje na paracích nádobách, stolovom riade, svietidlách a operadlách sedadiel v priestoroch reštaurácie.

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.
