XI Cartello — dragon logo
IDENTITY

XI CARTELLO

XI Cartello is an Asian cuisine brand with the character of a predator. A dragon tearing through the name became the central symbol: power, audacity, and the untamed energy of the East.

What I did
  • Developed the visual identity for an Asian restaurant.
  • Drew an Asian dragon clutching the typography with its claws.
  • Rendered the dragon in detailed engraving-style graphics.
  • Made the logo for signage, a tablet screen, a billboard and branded paper.
CHALLENGE

Create a visual identity for an Asian restaurant that stands out against generic hieroglyphs and bamboo motifs. The brand must be aggressive, memorable, and versatile — from signage to packaging.

CONCEPT

At the core — an Asian dragon clutching the typography with its claws. This is not a decorative illustration, but the brand's character: the dragon literally seizes the space. Detailed engraving-style graphics create a sense of craftsmanship and premium quality.

APPLICATION — BRAND IN CONTEXT

The XI Cartello logo is built to dominate space. Signage on a concrete facade, a tablet screen, a billboard, branded paper — every medium amplifies the brand's character.
