Bamboostar: A literal translation from an old Cantonese slang “Jook Sing” used to refer to Canadian born Chinese as being caught between the notches of a bamboo stick. Inbetween cultures. Instead of the derogatory nature the term may have originally meant to express, my view is that this sub-culture if you will, has a unique identity of it’s own. Being rooted in multiple cultures brings about a mu

lti-faceted worldview, providing for dynamic cross-cultural perspectives that can be leveraged into powerful streams of creative expression. Join me and follow along on this exciting journey of Bamboostar. - Jon Pong

So stoked to create a new logo for , my fave food truck offering one of the best fried chicken sammy’s in the 6ix!

Keeping with distinctive style elements of the brand, a hand denoting the fine/okay sign doubles as a 6, sprinkling spices with stylized graffiti lettering semi-bordered with fine lines.

Along with their truck being back up and running now for the spring and summer season, doing shows like the OOAK and Home Show centre, be sure to also check out their new location at 📍300 Richmond St. W. right across from Scotiabank cinema.

This rebranding and logo redesign was in anticipation of Jian Bing Club’s 2nd location. Main theme and colour scheme were inspired by the client’s desire for imagery reminiscent of Beijing, China to reflect the Beijing style Jian Bing’s that they specialize in. Featuring auspicious red and Forbidden City motif over top of the restaurant name with a clean and uniform grid-like treatment. A hint of the traditional meeting modernity with rounded sans serif font. Border enclosure presented within the motif denoting an establishment authentically Chinese.
