Logo creation

Concept-description: We wanted to create a restaurant/bar franchise in an medieval

theme, where it works as a restaurant in the daytime and a bar in the evening. The restaurant will serve medieval food and drinks,

whereas in the evening we wouldn’t serve food, but alcoholic drinks and medieval themed snacks. The place will be decorated in medieval theme, with wooden tables, medieval artifacts and

banners with our logo hanging down from the ceiling.

The founder of GIO Studio is GIO Tara, a Romanian girl that had the dream of reinventing the perceived image of jewelry handmade

accessories. She started her business creating handmade acces-sories in 2010. Until now she has completed a professional jewel-er course where she learned how to work with silver and that has helped her to improve her work combining the washers and nuts

with platinumcoated finishing elements, silver and Swarovski Elements crystals. My job was to redesign her logo in order for it to

visualize the core of the brand
