how about a logo? weekly #2-o8

[emm]

This thread seems to have died every time I come back here. Since I myself managed to kill it the last time, I wanna make good by coming up with a new weekly challenge for U. This time I'll be able to see it through, I hope.

A japanese restaurant is opening up, and they need a logo. It's a contemporary concept, so no dragons, koifish or lotusflowers. No asian typefaces. The name of the restaurant will be Hai (not case sensitive) which I believe means yes in japanese. (I watch movies). Two colors, no gradients. Any takers?

I don't know if this is too Japanese, but:

I might be jumping the gun and posting too soon, but here goes. I thought of this idea while at work and knocked it out pretty quickly. I think it works (especially the salmon pink :lol ). Whatcha got?

Billyjack, no gradients! :)
Lebowski, sleak, I like it!
kempez, I don't get the red part?
ms, that's beautiful!

well, here are mine. At first I went with the traditional colors, but then I thought of the young technofreaks with strange outfits on remote controlled rollerskates, and made the other. :)

Fun! Good work everyone.

A little break from work today.
Here is mine.

Solid basic design.
Can be easily modified later depending upon the output.

Simple vector paths created in Illustrator:
• Easy to modify
• Resolution free
• Clean crisp edges
• Scalable at any size,
• Not color dependent
• No halftones or Photoshop raster effects

Whatever you like, make a new thread!

[phosho]

I think i like ms the best...emm your's was a close second, but the cuisine type is probably too small...

Kempez...lol I didn't understand that either till you told us!

Lebowski...that knive just looks like it would be used in a horror movie!

haha nice job all! :)

Logo wise, I think emm sussed it for a simple, effective presentation that gives quite a modern (yet not losing "asian" feel) look.

I like Kathryn(KRB)'s, simple as well. The red circle is a nice touch and symoblism of Japan.

As for "ms", nice, but not my taste, its not very "simple". Didn't like the fontface for "Contemporary Japanese Cuisine". Might have been the most "japanese" out of all though.

Lebowski, hmmmmmm lebby can surely do better, the knife is a nice touch, but at the expense of being unable to read "HAI", and reading only "HA", I think that's sore to any corporate identity.

Kempez, nice try with the imagery.

thanks for commenting, phoso, Ray.
So... What about the next one? I can easily churn out new challenges every hour, but it's more fun to do someone else's.

Anybody?
