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. According to the trend of younger mainstream consumers, the designers redefine the traditional snack bar with modern design language, so that more young people understand and fall in love with Quzhou snacks in. Through the comprehensive application of vision and space system, this restaurant is endowed with a new and modern feeling.
Dimensions & Packaging
In the application of props, the designers make full use of the pig nose visual hammer, develop the steamer of Lord Qu exclusive pig nose on the tableware, the pig nose lamp and backrest seat in the space, make a deep strong link between the product and the brand, and carry out the exclusive brand design.

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.
Inspiration
Based on the original intention of the design, the designers decide to build Lord Qu into a snack expert image with personality and story, and establish the exclusive IP of the brand. 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.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2018 in Hangzhou and finished in September 2018 in Hangzhou.
Operation Flow
The designers create a story for IP, personify the ingredients in the main products.
