An integrated brand identity
for a family of Vietnamese restaurants

VK_logo

Brand identities for the Vietnamese Kitchen family of restaurants, including Cây Tre in Soho and Shoreditch, and the Shoreditch based Viet Grill. Work includes origination of all logotypes and identity elements (illustrations and patterns) and design and production of all brand and promotional material eg. menu design development, signage, apron and packaging design, events and promotional material.

The Vietnamese Kitchen identity comprises the ‘golden chopsticks’ VK logotype with the ‘five element’ set of patterns. The VK logo uses the classic Cooper Black font, a regular feature in Vietnamese Street Signage. It is brought to life in this playful ‘chopstick’ composition, and rendered in gold: alluding to the quality and integrity of the Vietnamese Kitchen experience. The ‘five element’ patterns are taken from the original Cay Tre Old St wallpaper, and form a link with the beginnings of the Vietnamese Kitchen. The graphic images connect with oriental ‘five elements,’ while also reflecting the vibrant, dynamic quality of Vietnamese cuisine and cooking.

“In Soho, we became a very first branded Vietnamese Restaurant in term of food quality and design. Kevin has helped us from the colour theme, signage to menu, which is now a great success."

“Taking that success further, Kevin has come to change
Cay Tre Old St and Viet Grill, in a very modern but still authentic Asian design. Kevin has made our restaurants
and deli to be looked branded in an exotic way."
