:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/101/101432/attachment_101432400 "To make the idea of the 'restaurant' as the primary focus without going too literal on the snake, I've created the vertical forms 2, 0, 8 such that they mimic the form and movement of a snake. So the form of the 208 itself represents more than just the numeric characters. Inspired by the idea of the numbers on vintage 'house plates' I've emphasised the characters over the wordmark so that a sense of 'location' and 'identity' could be formed automatically as one takes a first glance at the logo.
The characters for the wordmark 'on the snake' mimic the same movement as the serif typeface embodies the thick and thin curvature of a snake.
The brandmark and wordmark are such that they could be used together and separately as well depending on how you plan to implement the logo on the various print and digital platforms.")

So my inspiration started from the bird and a compass. And as I was developing it, I incorporated the initials B and I while working around the overall form to come out as a unified shape. And that turned out to be the definitive star of Israel.
Looking at the emblem with our eyes half closed, its spot on to understand that its a star. There's a clever play of negative spaces that are working for us here.
Now the individual elements: starting from the two white triangles at the either sides, they're the coordinates for the compass, as we're about 'guided tours and travels'.
Next is the silhouette of a bird that makes up for our B for Behold, while simultaneously constructing the overall shape of the logo. After it is the I for Israel and then our shape is closed by the coordinate.")
