“Many foods are heavily processed and laden with preservatives.” (Colleen, 2017)
People like all-you-can-eat buffets because they offer a lot of food for a reasonable price. That means the food, however, is most likely highly processed, and therefore contains a number of potentially unhealthy preservatives and chemicals.

I want to create a healthy preparation chicken meal for everyone which people can enjoy delicious food, traditional herbs and spices ingredient, and effortless price for those family members have no time to cook at home can come to this restaurant.
Visual References
I am Starting to get some fresh ideas needed some visual references from internet, so these kind of design style can be used in the project it very illustrative and family friendly design.
Logo Development
This is my very early stage before I start this project, basically this just a illustration for fun previously for a fictional chicken restaurant. But After that, I make this thing into a serious project which come out with a healthy chicken restaurant buffet providing effortless price and delicious meal in a good manner preperation.


Tryouts
I want to create something comfortable to see and for family friendly therefore I create a cute illustration chicken as a logo.
Kai Kai means “chicken chicken” in my Hakka Language, it sounds funny and memorable.



Herby & Spicy CHICKS sounds inviting people to seek the restaurant and felt trust what it should provide the meal to customers, because the selling point is natural ingredient therefore it must include or relate into the logo.

CHICKS – Healthy Chicken Buffet, the name keeps it simple and memorable with sub-title below gives a clear selling point what the brand standing for. The herbs as a tail of the chicken represent the whole idea of natural ingredient.

So this is the end for now, I will produce more promotional items and improvement in visual design in the future. Stay tune and thank you for watching!
