Brief
When I was meeting the staff of Tomo Sushi in the Restaurant I had a open briefing. After I got to know the client's personality more I suggested introducing a fun Japanese character that is in sync the owners view and approach in serving its guests; fun, delightful but also quality.
Challenges
Tomo Sushi was founded in 2000, the interior and look and feel have not been updated since. The colors of the interior were mostly black and white, although this was a good thing so I could introduce new colors.
Goals
Tomo Sushi's goal was to develop a style that sets their brand apart from other Sushi Restaurants. I suggested it's also good to have brand assets that can be used outside the restaurant as well (Stickers, Enamel Pins, Clothing, etc). These can be presented to regular customers as gifts.
Solution
Using a fun recognizable Japanese mascotte as the main Logo Tomo Sushi is not only limited to the restaurant, but also has options to further expand it’s brand in various and interactive ways.


Brand Assets
The new line of products consists of custom Chop Sticks, Business Cards, Stickers, Coasters, Clothing, Pins and more. Each product has two variations of colors and artwork. Also the Tomo Sushi Website and outdoor sign have been updated with a new look and feel.

Client Endorsement
