R U M O U R 
Branding for a mysterious restaurant of Michelin-awarded Jenő Rácz
_______


The desire for indulgence is primal, and Rumour is the place where diners can give themselves over to this special pleasure. The mood is mysterious and seductive, so we based the identity on shadows, darkness, plays of light, elegance, and restrained sensuality. The main brand colours of hot red and the darkest black were inspired by founder Jenő Rácz’s time in Shanghai. The logotype was chosen for its secretive and coy feeling, and applied using a sexy, hot red on black paper. We used techniques such as engraving, and special details like wax seals and satin ribbons to round out the dark, seductive identity.
