Vanilla Berlin

Vanilla Berlin is a small East Berlin coffee shop designed by the guys at Pandarosa. The recurring shapes seen on the walls, packaging, and business card are all based around the individual letters of the typographic logo. The movement of the logo and patterns, as well as the soft pink and blue color palette gives the cafe a retro modern vibe. This spot looks so cozy, I would love to just sit down with a latte and enjoy it all.

Simply Alexander

I have always enjoyed Alexander Wang's straightforward approach to design. No need for extra bells and whistles, just a simple and effective concept that delivers a beautiful product. His logo and graphics designed by Li, Inc are not just attractive, but truly exemplify the effortlessly cool and minimal attitude of the Alexander Wang brand.

Ad campaign posters that were originally meant for his lookbook, were hung all over the streets of New York, instead of being traditionally mailed. Very smart, considering one of the biggest modes of transportation in NYC is by foot.

Le Buro

Let's have lunch...

Here.

Designed by Inventaire

Visual branding of restaurants have always interested me. I enjoy seeing a concept of a restaurant translate into it's logo and menu design, interior, and advertising. Doesn't the unique logo and restaurant graphics compliment the industrial-chic interior so nicely?

Lily London

Playful and elegant. An example that design doesn't always have to be taken so seriously.

Lily London's logo, labeling, packaging, and website all was designed by the talented Andreas Neophytou, the art director at Six Creative, a multidisciplinary design firm specializing in international fashion and the luxury brands industry.

Let's go London

If I get a chance to go London, my wish would be to stay at Claridge's. This 5 star hotel is dripping with elegance, everything from it's beautiful Art-Deco inspired interiors, suites designed by Diane von Furstenberg, to its amazing graphic design. Turquoise juxtaposed with black-and-white bold prints, and hints of gold work together harmoniously together in reflecting the essence of Claridge's. I have to give to the talented designers at Construct.

Pretty Pizza

The fast-food industry is competitive, especially in the category of pizza.  Although we do not normally associate fast-food with quality, Pizza Nova felt that they needed a redesign of their visual identity to represent the nature their product. 

The designers at Canada based firm, Concrete Design Communications expressed "authenticity" and "quality" through color (colors of the italian flag), as well as sophisticated script and sans serif typefaces.
