Idea
Chicken Mafia is a new daring fast food gang that has taken over Moscow! Tattoos are a prominent feature of gangster culture. We decided to use the personal tattoos of one of the founders of the brand as the basis for the style (tattoo on the fists of Timur Yunusov). We redrawn the tattoo and made a series of branded icons.

The uppercase chopped letters of the brand name were mixed with the icons in a checkerboard pattern. The result is a bright corporate pattern / code that reflects the character of the brand and makes it unique. Bright red in combination with black and white create a contrasting rich expressive picture.
