Day 18 - Sakura

Thirty Day Logo Challenge - Day 18

Company: "I own a sushi bar in downtown Los Angeles and looking for a fresh logo! The name of my shop is called Sakura."

I was pressed for time today and only gave myself an hour to create the logo. I had fun with this logo, as I played with negative space and perspective. From afar, this logo would just look like a cherry blossom flower. But as you get closer, you notice that each "petal" is actually a fish all swimming towards the center. At the center is a star with the use of negative space. This star represents Sakura, sushi bar, as a top quality restaurant using fresh fish and quality ingredients. The blossom and the fishes tie together the association of the name Sakura and what the restaurant is.
