The Patio
We are building a restaurant with a rooftop bar and outdoor deck on the water. This will be done on the same lot as a hotel so patrons will have a place to eat and drink. The hotel is built in the 60's style Googie Architecture so we are looking for the restaurant to look authentic and match the era. Something to look as if it has always been there. We are looking for a logo that will be able to translate to a sign that really gives a wow factor. We believe the logo and signage is more important than the interior design itself. The restaurant will be serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. The lighting sceme will change so that the feel of the restaurant will change from morning to night.A very cool breakfast place and by night a great place to be outside for drinks and food.
We are focusing on a period in the 1960's where there was alot of suggestion. The beginning of the loss of innocence. Think of the style of the TV show madmen. We are interested in suggestion and innuendo. Some pictures of signs have been attached for the purpose of showing the architecture not so much the signage we are looking for. The photos are also not necessarily the logo style but more its potential impact
on you identifying who we are. The exterior sketch photo is a rough sketch of the 2 exteriors of the building. The olympic logo was placed just to show a rough placement of where the logo will be. Again not something we are looking for. We will be attracting locals and all types of travelers. A place where people see it and automatically have to check it out. Think WOW but not disneyland.
We need the logo to represent who the restaurant is and draw people to it. Real eye catching. Keeping in mind that we are using a lot of glass, metal and the one large corner tower is stone please feel free to use color you feel is appropriate. we are open to it at this point. if we like the design we may just ask the color to change.
We are not looking for it to be gimmicky. Think more classy sophisticated 60's. The show madmen. Martini glasses, high ball glasses. A little more class with underlying and hinting sexiness. Playful. The logo may not even need a graphic but more focus on the lettering.
Something that really stands out and gives a wow factor. The color scheme may dictate what we do exterior wise. The front of the building will have a lot of glass, stone and metal. Be creative and have fun.
