Because minimalism was greatly influenced by Japanese design and architecture, I created these logos with that mind. Clean, minimal lines reflect the Japanese aesthetic paired with modern typography creates a contemporary look and feel. The red dot/circle references the sun in the Japanese flag. In #3 the letter A creates the shape of two chopsticks in a subtle way. These designs position your restaurant as an upscale establishment that offers quality food, service and an authentic, memorable experience.
Please let me know if you'd like to see revisions or additional color explorations for any of these. Thank you, Christina
