About Chez Vous 品牌形象

Chez Vous 是为巴西圣保罗一家比利时餐厅打造的视觉识别系统。该识别系统以简约的插画风格,重新诠释了马格利特、撒尿小童、雨天与传统炸薯条等比利时标志性元素。简短的文案融入了比利时方言的变体表达,为图形构成增添了幽默感。该识别系统应用于菜单、海报、展板、包装与T恤,赋予餐厅统一的视觉形象。菜单与海报采用CMYK四色胶印工艺印刷,T恤则采用数码印刷。

Unique Properties: The rereading of the Belgian icons, such as Magritte, Manneken Pis, rain and traditional French fries allowed to create new interpretations and statements that can only be found in Chez Vous. Thus, the restaurant was permeated by graphic manifestations, such as posters, t-shirts, panels and more, providing a sense of visual unity and legitimately Belgian narrative.
Dimensions & Packaging: Menu, sheet format 520 x 380 mm and Kid Menu, sheet format 300 x 210 mm, printed on offset paper 300 g/m2., 4X40 colors (CMYK). Posters: sheet format 420 x 620 mm printed on offset paper 240 g/m2., 4X0 colors (CMYK). T-shirt printed on digital process.
Tags: Branding, Logotype, Package, label, illustration
Production Technology: Most of the graphic materials were produced in offset in CMYK-scale colors. The posters, with a theme of pop art, in contrast received classic frames. The t-shirts were produced in digital printing. Offset packaging is suitable for delivery.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to construct a visual identity that translated the essence of Belgian culture. And, above all, offer the customer Chez Vous an authentic experience of Belgian cuisine and culture. The definition of the graphic style of the illustrations was instrumental in translating simplicity and synthesis. The textual component was also fundamental to achieve the effect of authenticity, especially bringing dialectal variations to the graphic compositions.
Research: The Laika method is based on the synergy between linguistic and pictorial skills. Every project begins with the construction of meaning, an affirmation, and the need to design small graphic narratives. Thus, the visual identity project expands upon the detailed and strategic work of building an imaginary universe that represents the culture of the Chez Vous brand.
Inspiration: Chez Vous is the only Belgian restaurant in Sao Paulo. And its original culture was the starting point for the construction of the new visual identity, using the icons, tradition and sense of humor of the country to create a reinterpretation of icons, symbols and narratives, making a visual identity for Chez Vous.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Operation Flow: The visual identity project contributes to affirming the Belgian cultural essence of the restaurant Chez Vous, emphatically occupying the status of reference of Belgian gastronomy in the city of Sao Paulo. In addition, it allows the client to feel welcomed by the casualness and informality of the visual language and its narratives.
