EMPRESS
2017 PASSION PROJECT
When we visited the big city of San Francisco when I was a child (which was a very rare thing) the most favorite memory I have was when my family went to Chinatown. I must have been about 12 or 13 at most, but I remember seeing all the beautiful bold colors, the never ending stores of shiny trinkets and objects, and eating the most amazing almond cookie... I wished that taste and experience of wonderment could last forever.
Later when I moved to San Francisco for college, I got to experience eating in the Empress of China with my parents. It had such a wonderfully charming retro interior and amazing views, serving classic chinese american dishes. I loved it.
Now, it has been re-vamped and host to Michelin Starred Chef Ho Chee Boon. I thought it would be nice to craft a logo as a homage to such a wonderful memory.
