Details

Dining Car is a website that run with Ruby on Rails. This website works as social network and recipe management. This website allows users to create, store and share their recipes. It is federation-enabled using the ActivityPub protocol used by softwares such Mastodon, Pleroma and Plume. Dining Car is heavily inspired by OpenEats, but its focus is slightly different.

This logo design is trying to deliver idea about the dining car. Dining car is rail cart or wagon which has function as a restaurant. The main idea is combining the wagon illustration and dining tool illustration as representation of restaurant or food. Rounded shape is dominant in this logo design. So, for the logotype, I chose rounded font likes Nunito to make it corresponding.

This logo design uses tosca or green color scheme that I get from the project's website preview. In other color versions, I chose blue and red color schemes, the generic color schemes besides its black and white version.

Alternative Version

At the beginning, I proposed two logo designs for the project owner. Then the Project Owner give some suggestions. After did some revisions, the Project Owner agree to use my logo.

Benefits / Improvements

This logo help the Project Owner to improve the visual and identity of his project because this project didn't have any logo before. This logo will help to make interest of people to visit the Project Website. This logo is also simple, flat, and have the unique shape.
