Context Mango Landin' is a south London based restaurant and bar. Home to 'Brixton's Best Cocktails', Mango Landin' offers live reggae music and a Caribbean inspired menu. This mix of great food, music and cocktails has made Mango Landin' a trendy yet relatively undiscovered meeting place for Brixton's diverse locals. Brief or Tasks Mango Landin' has a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere that makes for a unique and highly enjoyable night out. Raise awareness for Mango Landin' through new branding and identity design. Instead of solely designing branding solutions, design concepts that can be applied across a range of media.
