Unicorn Rebrand

Visual Identity for Yating Liu

Designer Yating Liu has refreshed a New York Mexican food truck's brand in an experimental project. The design uses vibrant colors and badges to appeal to young students.

The logo creatively combines elements following Spanish grammar. Menu items also include college-related terms, ensuring a unified visual system tied to the brand's essence.

Unique Properties

"Unicorn" has a dual meaning: it signifies the mythical animal "Unicorn", aligning with the brand's weekly flavor launches, and it can be dissected into "Uni" and "CORN," representing "university" (as the food truck targets college students near universities) and "the taco". The exclamation mark at the end of the logo mirrors the third letter "i," a distinctive punctuation mark in Spanish.

Design Challenge

This brand design challenge is how to make every element in the design closely connected to the brand's core, ultimately forming a cohesive and unified visual system. Like the logo design which skillfully incorporates various pieces of information, such as the brand's origin, product characteristics, and target audience, into a simple graphic without losing uniqueness and detail.

Project Duration

The project started in July 2021 and finished in September 2021 in Beijing, China.

Operation Flow

The design features a lively and bold color palette, complemented by badge graphics that resonate with the college student identity.

Research

The overall logo takes a semi-circular shape, cleverly mirroring the appearance of Taco corn tortillas. The letters "i" in "UNi" in the name, along with the exclamation mark at the end, form a mirrored pattern, adhering to the rules of Spanish grammar.
