Contest Brief
About the Brand
Totonou is a new lifestyle brand built around the Japanese concept of balancing mind and body. Through food, meditation, and other elements of Japanese culture, we aim to share this idea with an international audience in a way that feels pop, energetic, and fun.
We have already launched a YouTube channel with 3 videos, including our key brand introduction piece: “Food is Energy, Mind is Balance” (approx. 6 minutes). The logo you design will become the core visual identity of the brand and will appear across digital, video, packaging, and eventually e-commerce.
Design Direction
- Theme: “Balancing mind and body through Japanese culture.”
- Tone: Bright, pop, and lively — not muted or overly “Zen.”
- To Avoid: Logos that feel too traditional, subdued, or old-fashioned Japanese.
Style Inspirations
We’d like the logo to capture impact, color, and energy, with inspiration from:
- Hokusai’s Great Wave off Kanagawa (power, dynamism)
- Edo-era subcultural/psychedelic art
- Takashi Murakami (but not childish)
- 1970s pop/psychedelic (e.g., Twiggy, Love Psychedelico)
- Mika Ninagawa’s Sakuran visuals (vivid, psychedelic Japanese aesthetics)
- Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) — modern interpretations of traditional Japanese patterns
