DEATH & BREAKFAST LOGO DESIGN
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
​Death and Breakfast is a game design concept created by designer Trinity Phan-Low. The game aims to be an immersive narrative-driven game, where players assume the role of Death’s personal assistant in a unique bed and breakfast for departed souls. Players can forge connections with a diverse cast of characters through the universally comforting acts of food and cooking.
I was commissioned by the designer to create a logo for this project that could be used in the project proposal presentation.

PROJECT DELIVERABLES:
Logo Design:
-
​A versatile logo that reflects the theme and mission of Death and Breakfast.
STAGE 01: IDEATION
The inspiration for this logo design is derived from the gothic literary and film genre. The client requested a design that is reminiscent of a traditional Bed and Breakfast brand design. The client also provided the color palette and the humanized Death character design seen throughout the game.
Moodboard and Inspiration
STAGE 02: ITERATION
The iterations of the logo explored different aspects of vintage signage while including symbols from the game such as various skull designs or Death’s candelabra. It was important to also include various cozy themed iconography to counteract the darker aspects of the theme and in order to maintain a nostalgic and welcoming feel.
