An identity and pattern system for a café and restaurant in Egypt, carried across packaging, signage and service.
Jouri Ward needed a recognisable identity for a café and restaurant concept, one that guests remember after the visit and that works on everything from the sign outside to the takeaway bag.
We designed an ornamental mark in teal, gold and grey, and turned it into a repeat pattern that gives the brand its texture. The system runs across cups, takeaway boxes, fries packs, cutlery sleeves, sugar sticks, menus, aprons, paper bags and the shop front.
The mark, its pattern and colours.
Takeaway packaging where the pattern does the work.
Signage, menus and uniforms complete the guest experience.
I’ve worked with OG on a restaurant, a gym, a children’s rehabilitation center, and dental and cosmetic clinics. Four businesses with nothing in common, and every time they started from zero to understand that place’s customer. I don’t recommend people easily, but I’ve recommended OG to more than one business owner, and every one of them thanked me.
