CITY BOY
Identity, Signage
Aki Nagao
2019City Boy is a new causal French restaurant from the Sapporo-founded, Michelin-rated French restaurant, Aki Nagao. City Boy offers a healthy lifestyle around the theme of "GOOD FOOD, GOOD HEALTH."
We created an identity around a potato, one of Hokkaido’s local specialties. Taking inspiration from Hokkaido’s pioneering lifestyle, we took a light-hearted approach and employed some wordplay. We took the name “City Boy” and juxtaposed against a potato, or “imo,” a nickname for people from the countryside.
Easy going, while keeping an edge, the bright neon yellow and the cool urban grey colors were picked to make City Boy a casual French restaurant that you can visit every day.
