A redesign of a Vancouver Chinese Vegetarian staple.
Sun Bo Kong Vegetarian Restaurant wishes to display Buddhist influences and the importance of the lotus plant within its logo. Each colour and iteration of the lotus provides multiple unique meanings in the context of Buddhism. The red lotus signifies emotional attachments to the heart (love, compassion) and is usually depicted with its petals open to represent the heart being open and filled with love. As a representation of the Buddha himself, the pink lotus represents the history and legends of the Buddha. The un-opened lotus bud represents mysticism and spirituality. As a whole lotus flowers rise from the depths of a muddy river, blooms and thrives. This symbolizes the human who rises from the darkness of the world into a new way of thinking and living. Taking all these meanings into consideration, the following logo was designed.
