About Meet Rebrand Branding
Meet is a Korean barbecue restaurant targeting young people. Client’s assignment for Mengchao, Hao and Sijia is to create an art direction and visual identity to express the vivid brand image and promote the various meats. The shapes of meats on the grill naturally present geometries. This idea leads them to the milestone of the concept, connecting different meats, seafood and vegetables with specified geometries. Various shape combinations and patterns give the geometries a playful and hot final touch.

- This project started with a conversation with the client. Through the conversation, we find out the ethos of the brand. Through further conversation and research, we gathered more information about the tone and language of Meet. Base on that, we developed the look and feel for Meet. Then, we apply this visual language to applications around this brand.
- Research
- Our research included 3 parts
1. Communications with the client.
2. Feeling research. we ate a lot of bbq(lol) to immerse ourselves in the emotion which bbq can directly convey. Moodboard is the result of this part. in the moodboard.
3. visual research. - Inspiration
- The shapes of meats on the grill naturally present geometries, beef tongue as circle, pork neck as rounded rectangle, and beef rolls as cylinder. This idea leads us to the milestone of our concept, connecting different meats, seafoods and vegetables with specified geometries. Various shape combinations and patterns give the geometries a playful and hot final touch. We also take advantage of the most basic graphical element - grid, to represent grills, which is unexpected but also reasonable.
