Ryan Nguyen - Icon Project Logo Book

A LOGO BOOK by

RYA N N G U Y EN

FOREWORD During the “Icon/Symbol/Isotype� project, I was given choices to choose an object that I find important in some ways. I started with a wrench, an alarm clock, and a binder clip. The goals were to choose something that is mobile and simple. I ended up choosing the clock for its shapes and mild complexity.

The project then continued to be a set of challenges for me to answer, thinking all the different ways I can make the clock iconic and easily recognizable. It is like putting the object through a food processor, and gets different result from each setting.

When the time comes, a final icon was produced and used. Then come the logos. Logos are made specially catered to six different companies: organic food grocer, big box store, sport team, law firm, fast-food restaurant, and Indie music record company. The objective was to include the object and its name in the logo production.

here is a time and place for everything, and when it comes to food why should there be anything less. Alarm Clock Bistro is the place to be if you want good food. The bistro started when Garrett Bonde was in a bind to satisfied his hunger, but wary of the usual places. Not that there was anything wrong with it; it just seems that he ate all he can without feeling repetitive. Then it struck him; he wants a place where he can get all his favorites in one place.

Few years later, Alarm Clock Bistro is open; it was a place where folks can eat leisurely and enjoy the company of its inhabitants.

The logo comes about to give the bistro a homey feelings, where it is not too upscale and not too rushed. It is like the sign in your house whenever there is a big feast happening. That is what Bonde was trying to convey with his bistro. He wants people to be reminded of home-cooked meals, excited chatter among family, and with roaring laughter.
