Brand Identity Design for Chef's Kiss

Project Title: Chef’s Kiss – Brand Identity Design

I am looking for an experienced brand identity designer to create the complete visual identity for a premium cooking, recipe and food memory platform called Chef’s Kiss.

Chef’s Kiss is proprietary technology owned by Pantheras Global Limited.

The brand identity must feel:

- Premium
- Elegant
- Warm
- Modern
- Intelligent
- Slightly luxurious
- Family-friendly
- Timeless

Chef’s Kiss is not a food delivery app. It is a premium recipe, meal planning, cooking intelligence and food memory platform.

The brand should sit somewhere between:

- A luxury cookbook
- A premium lifestyle brand
- A modern technology company
- A warm family kitchen

The identity should communicate:

- Great food
- “Perfect” cooking or the “chef’s kiss” moment
- Global recipes and cultures
- Smart technology
- Family and memory
- Warmth and trust

Deliverables Required:

- A subtle kiss or lips integrated into a spoon, whisk, chef hat or plate

- A globe or sparkle integrated subtly into the logo
- A minimalist cooking icon with an elegant twist

The logo must:

- Be recognisable at very small sizes
- Work as an app icon

4. Iconography + Graphic Style
Please create a style direction for:

The style should be:
