At Donburi Ya, I had the opportunity to assist the owners in conceptualizing a new brand identity, designing a mobile application and menu, and painting mural for their new restaurant. The goal in mind was to celebrate elements of Japanese culture and food, and incorporate a playful illustrative style that brought personality and life to the brand.
I designed this logo for SOMA's newest donburi restaurant, Donburi Ya. The Japanese word, "ya" translates to "house" in English, which was the impetus for incorporating a house-like structure, built from the "Ya" lettering that frames the restaurant's name.
