About Yic Barbecue Market Visual Identity

The identity is built around the sound of grilling, expressed as Zila, which shapes the brand slogan and the wider copywriting system. A small carnivorous character named Zila beast serves as the brand mascot, with a cute face and an open mouth. Circular forms such as stars and yarn balls suggest planets and space, supporting a barbecue planet theme. Light orange and blue-green tones give the identity a playful and fashionable style. The identity is applied across a 280 square meter interior.
