Poulette means chicken in French and was the perfect choice for a casual take-away and dining restaurant from Australia. The restaurant's branding and color palette were inspired by the aesthetics of old French restaurant signs and facades, while incorporating a modern twist.
The chicken illustration created for the brand can stand alone as a representation of the restaurant's identity, without the need for any accompanying text. The playful nature of the icon is balanced by the use of simple typography, which lends a modern and timeless quality to the logo.
