GoHanGo!

Info

GoHanGo! is one of the most influential culinary channels known for its fun, youthful vibe and focus on Asian cuisine and pop culture. The project involved updating the visual identity while maintaining core elements like fluid movements and vibrant colors, expanding the design across assets and animations. The logo features a chawan depicting a recipe with rice in fluid motion, representing channel members. Work included brand identity, digital adaptations, merchandise, and motion design for opening titles where the rice bowl evolves into a wok, using Blender fluid simulations and toon shaders.

Adaptation for digital

The logo was designed to feature the 'chawan,' the most common vessel in Asian cuisine, as its main element. It was intended to depict a recipe with rice in a fluid manner, showcasing the movement of spices and ingredients as they evolve, representing each member of the channel

Once we stabilished the brand identiy, I started expanding it to their motion design language, starting by the opening titles for their main program, "GoHanCook"

The client requested that the intro be easily editable, so they could insert footage of the recipes into the video

It all begins with the main logo
