Shapes/Themes

 Lines:

Sharp bold lines- Cajun food is all about bold spices, adding bold and loud lines to tie this association in.

Wavy and flowing lines- Using flowy and curves shapes can help tie other symbols and patterns into each other.


Shapes:

Sharp oval/curves- To match the shapes on the flags of both locations that inspiration was taken from.

Arches and arcs- Some of the other chosen shapes, patterns, and lines feature curves and semi rounded corners, reinforcing the patterns and shapes with maybe some high arches for doorways may help the atmosphere. 

Fleur-de-lis- A traditional French shape, featured on the Quebec flag and commonly found in NOLA.


Symbols:

Claws- Mudbugs, crawfish, and other sea bugs are a staple in Cajun foods.

Hockey imagery- Because this is a sports themes restaurant, playing off of Quebec's love for the ice sport, and Louisiana's growing intrests, adding some hockey elements will help tie the sports bar together.

Southern/swamp flora- Adding cat tails or Spanish moss designs will help emphasize the southern culture.


Patterns:

Fleur-de-lis- Stated above, a traditional French shape/symbol, having an inspired pattern based off this shape can unite the two different cultures together.

Cajun/Jazz inspired patterns- Lots of downtown NOLA like bourbon street feature 1920s jazz themed patterns from that era.


Typography:

Jawbreak- Creative market

Boge- Resource Boy

Looking for bold and sans serif fonts that reflect a sporty, yet keeping a clean and traditional vibe.


(NOLA- New Orleans Louisiana)
