[Core Objectives]
This time, we're designing a truly commercially usable 'Guofeng Gourmet Character Badge Logo.' It is not an ordinary cartoon illustration, not a simple restaurant poster, nor a simple text logo, but a restaurant brand logo centered on "Guochao character characters + eye-catching Chinese signboard text + restaurant category description + badge-style integrated structure."

Overall, it should be immediately felt: this is a logo with a character, appetite, store feel, packaging feel, and suitable for real food and beverage brands. It can serve as a store sign, as well as for takeout avatars, packaging stickers, lunch boxes, cup bodies, menus, social media avatars, and the main visual on the front of food packaging.

[Design Essence]
The focus of these logos is not to draw a single cute character, but to integrate the following three layers into a complete brand logo:

1. Role layer: responsible for attracting attention and brand personality;
2. Font Labeling Layer: Responsible for brand name recognition and communication;
3. Badge Layer: Responsible for integrating role, text, and category information into a complete logo unit.

The final effect should resemble a mature Guochao restaurant brand logo, not scattered illustrations and text.

[Most Important Principle]
1. It must first be a logo, not just an illustrated poster.
2. The character should be memorable but not overshadow the brand name.
3. The Chinese brand name label must be prominent, clear, and have a strong sense of signage.
4. The overall design must have a sense of dining consumption, appetite, and packaging recognition.
5. Characters, food, text, and badge structures must be a unified whole, not simply collaged.
6. The style should be trendy, fun, and approachable, but not cheap, childish, or overly messy. Don't make the text too dense.

[Character Design Requirements]
Please design a Guochao food character with brand personality based on the [character design].

Character Design Requirements:
1. The character image should have clear memorable points;
2. Expressions should be friendly, appetizing, and lively;
3. Actions should be related to the food or category, such as holding a bowl, holding skewers, drinking milk tea, kneading dough, frying pans, holding a spoon, holding a sign, etc.;
4. Clothing may feature national style, region, folk customs, or characteristics of the catering profession;
5. Characters should lean towards brand IP, avoiding realism and excessive complexity;
6. The character should be recognizable even after shrinking, suitable for brand avatars and packaging designs.

[Food Element Requirements]
Please add a small but accurate number of dining symbols around the food element, for example:
- Bowls, pots, chopsticks, spoons, steam
- Flame, charcoal, chili, broth
- Milk tea cups, straws, tea leaves, ice cubes
- Pasies, tangyuan, meatballs, noodles, skewers
- Local ingredients, seasonings, wrapping paper, lunch boxes

Food elements should serve brand recognition, not pile up.  
The key is to let the audience immediately know what the brand is selling at a glance.

[Font Design Requirements]
The brand name is one of the core identities of a logo; it must be clear, eye-catching, and have a strong signature.

The Chinese brand name label should have:
1. A robust, powerful, and full-bodied restaurant signage;
2. Moderate Chinese trend, vintage packaging or cartoon font feel;
3. Strokes, shadows, base supports, plaques, rounded corners, and thickness can be added;
4. The font can be slightly exaggerated, but it must be legible;
5. Don't be too minimalistic, don't use a standard system font;
6. The font should match the character's style.

[Badge Structure Requirements]
Please integrate the character, brand name, and category information into a complete badge-style logo.

You can choose one of the following structures:
1. Character above + large Chinese font at the bottom;
2. The character stands on food or utensils + the character marker as a base;
3. Circular / oval / plaque style badge structure;
4. Symmetrical small cards + central role;
5. Characters and text overlap to form a complete brand seal;
6. Horizontal signboard at the bottom + character IP at the top;
7. Takeout avatar-style round seal / packaging sticker structure.

The whole logo should look like a complete logo that can be directly used for food packaging, store signage, or social media avatars.

[Requirements for Auxiliary Information]
You can add a small amount of auxiliary text and small markers, for example:
- Category description
- English subtitle
- Year of establishment
- Regional tags
- Small characters such as "handmade," "freshly made," "old flavor," and "secret recipe."
- Small round seals, small borders, small decorative strips

But auxiliary information must be restrained; the visuals cannot become complicated posters.

[Style Direction Requirements]
The overall presentation should be:
- A sense of national trend
- Dining experience
- Packaging feel
- Character IP Sense
- Affinity
- Sense of transmission
- Appetite
- Local snacks / The temperament of new consumer dining brands

Overall, the following must be avoided:
- Illustration style for young children
- Overly complex poster feel
- Pure illustration without resembling a logo
- Characters are too realistic
- The font is too weak
- Colors that are too dirty and mixed
- Too much information
- Lack of category recognition for food and beverages

[Color Requirements]
Please design the overall color scheme based on the [Main Tone] and [Secondary Colors].

Recommended color direction:
1. Barbecue / Hot Pot / Strong flavors: Red, orange, black, earthy yellow, dark brown;
2. Desserts / Milk Tea / Pastries include: pink, milk white, light purple, red bean paste, apricot color;
3. Local snacks / noodles / rice noodles: beige white, ink black, vermilion, green, earth yellow;
4. Seafood / Refreshing Canteen: Blue, Cyan, White, and Red Small Stamps;
5. Time-honored brand / Cooked food / Sauces: Brown-red, dark gold, ink-black, beige.

Colors should have a sense of appetite and brand remarkability, but should not exceed 4~5 main colors.  
Bright accents can enhance attention, but they shouldn't overshadow the main character.

[Image Presentation Requirements]
1. The screen should be an independent logo display image; do not make it into a complicated poster;
2. Simple backgrounds, recommended white background, beige white background, light gray background, or low-saturation solid color background;
3. The logo body should be centered, clear, and complete;
4. Roles, logos, category descriptions, and badge structures must be complete and unified;
5. The overall look resembles a real restaurant brand's logo proposal, rather than a single illustration.

[Acceptance Criteria]
Please ensure the final result meets the following criteria:
1. Brand name is instantly visible;
2. You can immediately tell what they're selling;
3. Characters with memorable moments;
4. The overall logo is complete, not an illustrated poster;
5. Suitable for store, packaging, lunch boxes, stickers, takeout avatars, and social media avatars;
6. It has the affinity, appetite, and communication of a Guochao food brand.

[Output Requirements]
Please finally output a highly polished "Chinese-style Gourmet Character Badge Logo." It must first be a mature, complete, brandable, and applicable restaurant logo; Second, it should use Guochao characters, eye-catching logos, food elements, and badge structures to form a highly recognizable, approachable, and highly communicative food brand image.
