Joy Teriyaki

Five wordmarks and ten building directions for a Korean teriyaki drive-thru, delivered as an interactive review tool so the client could choose brand and architecture independently.

ConceptBrand and concept design
Joy Teriyaki concept catalog: ten drive-thru architectural directions side by side

Problem

Joy Teriyaki wanted a launch identity for a new drive-thru prototype, covering both the wordmark and the building shell. Customers judge a drive-thru from the car in seconds, so the brief needed breadth before depth.

Approach

  1. 01

    Five wordmark directions sharing the same chef mascot and palette family at different volumes, from premium to festival.

  2. 02

    Ten architectural directions, each rendered in a three-quarter view and a long-wall drive-thru view, so the wall drivers actually see was always part of the evaluation.

  3. 03

    An interactive review tool (a single-page Next.js app) where logos and buildings are independent axes, with materials, palette and packaging mock-ups one click away.

Architecture

A single-page review tool: building grid, logo grid and a brand-sheet lightbox.

Built with

  • Next.js
  • Vercel

Outcome

Phase 1 delivered: the client can pick a direction or fuse two, then iterate logo, packaging and architecture to a build spec.

Next

Motofig

A browser-based 3D configurator: pick a bike, set every finish from plastics to spoke nipples, lay out graphics panel by panel, then save and share the build.
