Mutton Quad - Existing Restaurants

I decided also to have a look at a few existing restaurants that are appealing to me personally and how they go about branding the company and creating an identity across a number of products.



____Elliot's London








Elliot's is a little bar / restaurant that I visit occasionally when I'm in London. It's located on Borough Market but is decent priced and serves up some tasty food. It's branding is simple which I think is what makes it more appealing. It sort of has an old school butcher's kind of feel which creates a really good environment to dine in. The logo is instantly recognisable and can be applied to a number of different products in a range succesfully. I also like the simpleness of the menu pinned up to the pinboard. 



_____Byron 















Another cool restaraunt is Byron Burger. They use a mix of clean cut design and typography along with the simpleness of their business ethics to create a really relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. I particulalry like the website for Byron. The navigation bar looks kind of like a receipt and it hands down over the background which i full scale imagery. It works really well. 


____The Hawksmoor





Another nice website for ' The Hawks-moor'. The website is laid out in the style of a menu which works really well. The branding is clean and uses the two colours, gold and black on white which represents class and works.


_____Shallow Cafe 






Hand painting is another interesting concept. I really like the idea of hand-painted signs and interiors and how they add to the whole dining experience. A sign like this can make the place feel more welcoming and homely. 


_____Distri














Very simple branding for this small cafe, Dimitri. White on Black which isn't the boldest chouce but really works for the purpose. I like how this transfers across all elements, into the window signage and paintwork. 




____GRK Fresh Greek









GRK use print methods onto different stock, such as the tracing paper stock that is used to be wrapped around the pitta bread. This is a good idea and could easily be done digitally or using another method such as screen print to achieve the desired effect.
