Hey Sisu, I go to this restaurant from time to time :) I do have to add that the center mark is a little too intricate for a smaller size logo. Maybe you can place a less 'busy' logo in the middle. *When I think of Hong Kong this is what comes to mind, what about something more modern like their crazy awesome skyline?

Hello Sizu,**I agree with gypseemoth about about the intricacy being too much for a logo. A local sushi restaurant has a similar problem... whenever their logo is printed on something small like a package for a pair of chopsticks it does not look good.**Maybe you could reduce this to just the face of the dragon, looking for a few very stylized strokes that capture it? You might then save the full dragon to use in other compositions... like when filling space in a menu layout.**I like that font. I'm not sure why %22Hong%22 is black and %22Kong%22 is red, unless there's some sort of idea that the mascot is named Kong and thus is in the same color? Unless there's a motivation it might be best just to make %22Kong%22 black...**Regards,*met%26aelig%3Bducation
