About K-Chic Brand Identity

K-Chic is a brand identity for a Korean style fried chicken business that serves the meal delivery market. The mark combines the letter K with a chicken footprint to suggest the idea of an expedition. The lettering is based on the style of Korean retro advertisements and recalls a shouted slogan. Supporting graphics use battle flags, ancient maps and chicken warriors to express the theme of a Korean warrior journey. Rich colors mark the different flavors on tags and wraps. The main visual places the fried chicken within a map to invite the appetite.

Design Challenge: The main visual uses a map expression technique to integrate the fried chicken into the picture to enhance the appetite and arouse the desire for consumption. The stickers are designed with the concept of military emblems combined with the tastes, with the rich colors, so that food and packaging materials can enhance the appetite.
Project Duration: The project started in Nov 2019 in Taiwan and finished in Mar 2020 in Taiwan.
Research: The identification mark uses K combined with the footprint of the chicken to symbolize the meaning of expedition. The font part uses the font style of Korean retro advertisements, which is designed to imitate the Korean text, and has the visual image of the shouting slogan, which expresses the image of the warrior's righteous ardor. The auxiliary graphics use Korean warrior expedition ideas, and are designed with the elements such as the battle flags, ancient maps, and chicken warriors, bringing in the different flavors, making the brand's main axis more complete, reflecting the richness of flavors, and conveying the spirit of authentic Korean flavors.
Inspiration: Zi Huai Shen proposed the concept of the Korean warrior expedition after an internal discussion. The designer utilizes the element of warrior to symbolize the delicious fried chicken to be healthy and tender chicken. The zesty Korean Fried Chicken conquers the taste buds of consumers from the imagination of a Korean expedition to Europe.
