AL said:Interesting to put a natural disaster in a logo dealing with food. Will the identity contain some floating dead bodies to make it tastier..? :)

ClimaxDesigns said:@Al I think people are generallly mature enough to get past, if thats the name of the roll then thats the name of the roll, I guess everyone with the name Betsy or Katrina should officially get their name changed right?

AL said:@ClimaxDesigns: I know, but you simply can't avoid the negative connotations. Maybe I'm too sensitive but tsunamis usually cause humanitarian disasters also because food and water gets contaminated. Do you think "Ground Zero" would be a good name for a demolishion company in downtown Manhattan? Would you name your own son Adolf? Or George (just kidding)...
PS. Dear Author, sorry for having this discussion about naming issues under your design. What about moving it to forums?

ClimaxDesigns said:People still name their sons adolf in germany, i know plenty of georges, the point is this is a name of sushi roll that is probably in no way associated or even near the area of the world that the disaster happened in, hurricane camille decimated the gulf coast 60 years ago, a ship that washed ashore and was turned into the camille bar and grill, people move on... Most sushi roll are named after sea faring events or the fish that are contained in them or how they look, i just don't see how sarcastically challenging the name in this particular case has any traction, merit, or place here is all.

kellyoneill said:I think this logo is fantastically executed and well-designed. Right or wrong, I can't help but think of the faces of those that I met in Indonesia right after the tsunami - I did relief work there, and the survivor's lives are forever changed - almost everyone lost someone they loved. While they would cringe at knowing a "tsunami roll" existed, they will likely never know. I certainly don't fault the designer for creating this logo!

gthobbs said:Uh oh....rkiga. Please don't be one of those people that works on other's people's work.
And as for the other conversations: What about amusement park rides named Tornado? How dare them. Or a drink called Kamikazi? The horror!

clashmore said:Haha, would you root for the Miami Hurricanes? Or drink a Kahlua mudslide? Gimme a break.

rkiga said:Having a roller coaster named something like tornado makes sense because they want to say the ride is powerful, but drinks like "kamikaze" and "Irish car bomb" really are a bit offensive to me.
If I were looking for a new place to eat on yelp or citysearch, I definitely wouldn't pick one with an offensive name. It doesn't matter if there was no bad intent; if a name brings up bad memories or feelings, then there's a problem with the name.
@gthobbs
yeah, i realized right after posting that i shouldn't have done that and was looking for the edit button. i was working on my own logo with ps open, so i got a little overzealous. forgibbiness please :x

graeme said:I happen to know tsunami sushi has been around in Vancouver on Robson for ages, having the benefit of living nearby. This logo works for me, I like it. I do agree with some other comments, I'd like a deep dark green if thats what sushi looks like. I also feel the type could move up and baseline with the bottom left of the sushi roll just to ground it, no pun intended. That aside, great work. Thank you for sharing.

graeme said:You know what. Forget my comments, I like it just the way it is. Love your other work as well. Great job.

cranberryjello said:break the roll into 3 pieces by adding thin white lines. this way you keep the tsunami image but fix the awkward size of the roll by making it look like 3 sushi pieces stacked vertically. also, move the text up and left to continue the line made by the bottom of the roll. perfect.

THEArtistT said:Nature is both beautiful and awful. Considering (and I've said this before with another tsunami sushi logo, so the name is popular) how a tsunami is nature at its rawest, it works great for food served mostly in the raw. Hating a tsunami makes as much sense as hating a rainbow to me. One is not evil and the other good. They just are.
