The sketches
The concept
Instant
I think a food logo should be straight forward without sacrificing the design aesthatic. My idea is to have a direct visual message for people who is hungry and seeking for nice sushi meal. Therefore the logo should be able to instantly capture upon first sight.
Salmon
After some consideration, I decided to choose salmon as a symbol of a Japanese sushi restaurant, direct enough the only concern is to make it visually appealing.
爭鮮 logo, the word “魚” (fish) is made to look like a fish with the tail added at the bottom.
The final outcome
A simplified pattern or texture of a salmon fish as th background, this logo embodies a simple and direct message of a sushi restaurant to people.
