DESIGN NAME: XIN SGCQ Hotpot
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Logo and VI
INSPIRATION: XIN SGCQ features diverse aspects of Sichuan hotpot culture, which stresses spicy flavors. Besides, Sichuan is the most famous place for pandas. Thus, we created a panda face pattern (mainly adopting eyes and mouth as design elements), conveying lovely and lively sense to attract more youngsters and women. Therefore, we combined a panda face pattern with spicy hotpot graphics to make XIN SGCQ the new symbol of food fashion, which is required by our client.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: XIN SGCQ Hotpot is a famous catering brand that has already experienced two decades of development. The client considered the existing logo obsolete and unfashionable. Thus, in order to improve the brand recognition, we designed a novel logo which could easily be recognized and represent the Sichuan hotpot style.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: In our logo design, we adopted black, white and red to represent panda's skin color as well as the color of the red pepper. In the right part of the logo, we took bamboo as the auxiliary graphics to showcase regional features (Sichuan). The vertical auxiliary graphics symbolize bamboos; horizontal graphics represent chopsticks. This combination of patterns and auxiliary graphics represent the typical Chinese (especially Sichuan) hotpot characteristics.
