Branding for Restaurants

Branding for restaurants is more than just a nice looking logo. We offer the complete package: naming, concept, menu design, website, signage, illustration and a storytelling that brings everything together to create a memorable and cohesive identity.

Names for restaurants

Coming up with an appealing name for your restaurant is a critical step in defining its identity. A well chosen name should capture the essence of the experience you want to offer and resonate with your target audience.

It should be memorable, evocative and unique, while contributing to telling your brand story and saying something about who you are.

Doppietta is an Italian restaurant that tells the story of the Miglia Miglia, a legendary motor race that ran from 1927 until 1957 from Brescia to Rome. The name Doppietta is the Italian word for the double clutch used by cars at the time. 

Logos for restaurants

Your logo is key for customers to identify your brand, instantly communicating your essence and values.

At Dennis Studio, we design custom logos that capture the spirit of your restaurant and stand out from the competition, leaving a lasting impression.

Named Bar La Esquina (meaning ‘The Corner Bar’ in Spanish) for it’s unusual triangular layout, we took that idea further by cutting out the corner of a crossword to create the logo.

Menu design for restaurants

Your menu is a vital aspect of your restaurant’s branding, influencing both customer perception and experience. A thoughtfully designed menu not only highlights the culinary offerings but also guides customer choices and reinforces your restaurant’s unique identity.

We create visually appealing and strategically designed menus that reflect your brand’s personality and entice diners.

The menu design for Bar Bauma is an elevated version of the classic clipboard. Designed with a hidden magnet and a protective faux leather cover, with the logo elegantly embossed on the cover.

Websites for restaurants

Website design for restaurants is essential in showcasing the food, atmosphere and unique qualities of the experience you're offering to potential customers.

We craft custom and affordable websites that blend visual appeal with user-friendly functionality, ensuring your online presence captivates visitors and converts them into loyal guests.

Les Filles is a well-being café in Barcelona. The website was designed and built to be simple and easy to use. Our thinking was that well-being can translate online by not overloading people with information.

Signage for restaurants

Exterior signage for restaurants plays a crucial role in enhancing visibility and drawing attention to your restaurant. Interior signage helps guests know exactly where to go to the toilet!

We aim to design striking and memorable signage that reflects your restaurant's personality, ensuring a strong first impression that seduces passersby and welcomes guests into an inviting dining experience.

We designed a giant three meter sign for Chandigarh Café to reflect the blocky concrete architecture of the city in India with the same name.

Illustration for restaurants

Illustration can add a distinctive and artistic touch to your restaurant's identity. Custom illustrations can elevate menus, walls and marketing materials, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

We regularly commission top illustrators to create bespoke artwork that reflects your restaurant's personality and charm, making your brand stand out and resonate with your guests.

For Fauna Café we commissioned illustrator Redmer Hoekstra to create a series of illustrations of a fantasy world where all types of creatures interract with each other in surreal ways.
