Logo review of HONG KONG TEA, est. 2025, ГОНКОНГ ТІ

Legibility

Main English text 'HONG KONG TEA' is bold, geometric, and easy to read.
Contrast with background is strong, ensuring visibility.

'est. 2025' is quite small and may lose legibility at smaller scales.
Vertical Cyrillic text may not be immediately legible for all audiences and is visually second-tier.

Scalability versatility

Bold, flat design and simple color palette allow for good scalability on packaging and signage.
Logo can work on menus, cups, and storefronts.

High level of detail in the junk boat and small 'est. 2025' may get lost at smaller sizes such as favicons or embroidery.
Vertical text element ('ГОНКОНГ ТІ') may be indecipherable at very small scales.

Balance alignment

Overall composition is symmetrical and well-structured with clear separation between symbol and wordmark via vertical bar.
Pleasant visual weight distribution.

Slight disconnect in alignment between the boat symbol and baseline of the main text block.
Cluster of design elements in the boat may overwhelm the cleaner wordmark area.

Originality

Creative combination of a Chinese junk boat with a tea leaf for regional and industry relevance.
Negative space use for tea leaf is thoughtful.

Junk boat imagery is somewhat recognizable in Asian tea branding, though the leaf integration adds some uniqueness.
Small orange character seems decorative and doesn't add conceptual strength.

Logomark wordmark fit

Both logomark and wordmark have a modern, geometric style for cohesion.
Shared color and clean lines unify the two elements.

Vertical text panel’s style (Cyrillic/other script) feels tacked on compared to the bold sans-serif English wordmark.
Slight disconnect in the proportions between the logomark and wordmark; the boat is compact, but the text block is elongated.

Aesthetic look

Minimal color palette and modern typographic choices give a premium, contemporary feel.
Design is pleasing, not overly busy.

Orange accent feels disjointed from the overall color story.
Slight overcrowding within the logomark could be minimized for more visual calmness.

Dual meaning and misinterpretations

No accidental or inappropriate meanings detected.
Imagery is clear and brand-relevant.

Color harmony

Color pairing (teal, ivory, small orange accent) is sophisticated and harmonious.
Palette is consistent with tea/heritage themes.

Orange accent on character seems out of place and draws disproportionate attention.
