Branding
Shanghai, China
La Mezcaleria, a mezcal cocktail lounge that takes inspiration from plant medicine, street art and the spiritual energy of Oaxaca, a region of Mexico famed for its agave. In our design we wanted to show “tequila” as a drink that is respected, god-like, and to especially kept away from any cliché Mexican themes.

The logo is inspired by a shaman headdress, half owl, half agave plant, illustrated in a way that feels psychedelic. Our hope is that different people see different things when they first see this icon.
