Design Details
- Unique Properties
- We developed a dynamic visual identity that reflects the vibrant diversity of Jo offerings. The logotype, with its clean yet playful form, mirrors the balance between simplicity and adventure. For Jo, we chose green as the primary brand color, symbolizing both the natural essence of the brand and its commitment to growth and progress. Green evokes freshness and sustainability, aligning perfectly with Jo brand values and its focus on wholesome, quality food.
- Inspiration
- The visual identity of Jo incorporates illustrative graphics inspired by key elements of the dining experience. We drew on forms and shapes from food ingredients, tableware, and restaurant objects to create a visual storytelling approach that enhances brand recognition. These elements contribute to building a cohesive and dynamic brand world, where every graphic element serves a purpose in conveying Jo narrative.

- A modern aesthetic was a priority throughout the design process. We ensured that all visual forms, from illustrations to graphic motifs, maintained a contemporary feel.
