Are you a ramen-tic at heart or here to find the most pho-bulous logo design for your newly launched noodle shop? Whatever your noodle logo design needs, we have the perfect ramen icons and pho logo designs to satiate your appetite.
If you have been in the restaurant industry for any length of time, you know that not all food logos are created equal. Some are more descriptive than others, and some food entrepreneurs lean towards abstract branding and highly conceptual designs more than simple logos. So which way should you sway?
A well-made meaningful restaurant logo, a swanky food wordmark, or an abstract logo for your fancy new sushi bar?
The truth is that each of these has its benefits. Depending on your brand personality, restaurant name, and the vibe you want to communicate, the best noodle logo for your restaurant may look different than a similar food brand’s.
Let’s look at these elements in detail.
3 Keys to Unlocking the Perfect Food Branding
With the whole universe of noodle logo designs open to you, how do you find the one that represents you the best? Three keys unlock this mystery.
• Your Brand Personality:
Brand personality is a mix of how you present yourself to the world through visuals, tone of voice, and values and how your customers feel when they interact with you. When both are in harmony, a balanced brand personality is formed. If your noodle bar is an upscale eatery, its visual expression will be much different than a corner shop selling the world’s best udon but with rickety chairs outside and the bustle of the street a part of the experience.
• Your Restaurant Name:
Your noodle shop branding may also depend on its name. While most restaurant logos are combination logos, if you’ve got a fun name or an elegant name, you might want to highlight it with a wordmark logo. Wordmark logos will also suit a noodle house logo if it’s promoting a legacy brand or a generational business. Conversely, combination logos designs suit a wider area of food branding. From exquisite noodle illustrations to simple designs like the Maruchan ramen logo, there’s a lot you can do when you work with noodle icons in the design.
• Your Restaurant Vibe:
The vibe of your restaurant is determined by its overall look and feel. Everything counts — from the color of the walls to the cutlery design and quality. People look at these things and form opinions. That’s your restaurant vibe. So take charge and use your logo design to be the most effective vibe checker. If you’re going for warm and casual, a handwritten logo may be just the thing. Retro food logos are also a raging trend and fit the warm and casual vibe. And if you going for modern and classy, elegant serif fonts with glossy and neutral palettes may be closer to the mark.
Tie all three elements together to create a polished and premium brand identity.
