WokBox - Logo Redesign

Wok Box is an Asian food restaurant that sells food in boxes. Looking at the original logo, we noticed that there is an opportunity for improvement, as it is a simple logo, but with the feeling that the elements are not incorporated. My first suggestion is to replace the typography, bringing smoother lines and secondly to redesign the elements, customizing it and bringing more authenticity, so that it adds more value to the brand and the product.

Sketches

The sketching phase focused on exploring a wide range of visual directions for the WokBox rebrand. I experimented with different box shapes, chopstick placements, and typography styles to capture the essence of fast, flavourful Asian cuisine. These early concepts helped define the brand’s personality—playful, bold, and modern.

Font & Colour selection

The Fredoka One font has several differentials that make its aesthetics playful and friendly, making the design cheerful. Fredoka One features bold, rounded lettering, giving it a strong and attractive look, and making a strong visual impact. Despite its bold and playful nature, the font maintains good readability. The colors red, white and black were chosen to represent the brand’s identity and Asian aesthetics.

New Logo Explanation

In the redesigned logo, the box’s presence was retained, as it is the restaurant’s unique selling point; however, in a lighter and more modern style. Inside the box, Noodles and Chopsticks are depicted, strongly referencing Asian cuisine. The distinct feature is in the incorporation of the brand name (“WOK”) into the logo, which adds to the authenticity and conveys a sense of joy.

Final Concepts

The final WokBox logo highlights a clean, modern identity with a subtle yet meaningful design detail. Inside the takeout container, the flowing noodle illustration is crafted to form the word “WOK”, creating a clever visual connection between the product and the brand name. This hidden lettering adds personality and makes the mark more memorable without compromising simplicity.

The angled chopsticks introduce movement and guide the eye toward the wordmark, while the bold red-and-black palette reinforces brand recognition. The result is a playful, dynamic logo that visually communicates freshness, energy, and Asian flavour.
