Dragon Alley
Dragon Alley is a brand identity design created for a hot pot restaurant and an adjoining tea room. The identity is built on the idea of dualism drawn from Chinese mythology. The restaurant identity expresses release through a crack of thunder motif, an ink black background and vigorous letterforms. The tea room identity expresses restraint through a burst through clouds motif, a natural paper tone and gentler forms. Gradual gold accents link both identities. Applications include business cards, menus, posters, packaging and tableware.
Dragon Alley Visual Identification Design by Liu Tian was identified as an exceptional illustration of communication design by the A' Design Awards. Dragon Alley Visual Identification Design won the Bronze A' Design Award in Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design in 2021. The A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade that rewards outstanding design of logos, posters, infographics, brochures, packaging designs, business cards, book covers, billboards and more.
