milianos award winning project restaurant logo

The logo, featuring the national bird of Italy, the Italian Sparrow, is a very social bird. The logo represents tradition, while emphasizing the all inclusive social aspect that makes Miliano's truly special.

The menu uses Italian mosaic tile shapes with graphic textures from photos taken on Commercial Drive. Every wall, brick, and mural is reflected in the design, with each menu color-coded for easy distinction. Brand characters appear throughout, representing specific dishes.

All food items are named after streets on ‘The Drive,’ celebrating the area’s people, homes, and community spirit.
