Restaurant Advertising and Logo Design

Kalaheo Cafe & Coffee Co. Logo

This neighborhood cafe is a fun and eclectic place to have a great cup of coffee, fresh baked good, garden fresh salads, and any number of other amazing breakfast or lunch dishes. It’s a “rise and shine” kind of place, thus the sun in the logomark. You should see the roadside sign – it turned out quite beautifully.

Kupono Café Logo Design

This logomark was actually illustrated the old fashioned way, then digitized and enhanced. Our illustrator used this specific style because it best fit the client’s brand. One unexpected result was that the Executive Chef liked it so much, he had it embroidered on his chef’s coat.

22° North Website Design

This happens to be one of the smallest and least interactive web sites that we have created, but fun and sassy just the same. The food is fabulous, and the setting, well, you’ll just have to experience for yourself. It’s like taking a step back in time to Hawaii’s plantation era.

Kalaheo Steakhouse Interior and Exterior Design

Reinventing a Kalaheo landmark had its challenges. People don’t like change. They want things like they were. But the dark, rundown space needed some new life. Thankfully the new owners embraced the concepts we presented, and today Kalaheo Steak & Ribs is a hub of local life that embraces the past yet has confidently strode into the present.

Kalaheo Steak & Ribs Logo

Our good friends Caroline and Ernie opened up this fabulous new neighborhood steakhouse just around the corner from our office. This is the logo we designed for them based on their input of what they wanted the logo to represent.

Brennecke’s Full Page Advertising

This playful print ad included a full day photo shoot to secure both people and interior/exterior restaurant shots that would showcase their fun and festive attitude. The final deliverable was four full page ads submitted to various publications, and all photos provided to client on disk and uploaded to his “Private Client Intranet.”

Brennecke’s Logo Design

The client had been using the fish in the logomark for over 20 years and asked that we please incorporate it into the new logomark, so we accommodated his request. Appropriately designed also as a drink coaster, Brennecke’s serves a mean mai tai.

Wahooo’s Restaurant Advertising

Always working to communicate the quantity and quality of the fresh fish available at Wahooo’s, through print, web, and broadcast media.

Wahooo’s Interior Design

By starting with a strong brand position and fresh new name, we were able to bring the new brand to life in the restaurant. Most of the renovations were exterior in an effort to take a stand for reevaluation by consumers. New paint, signage, and landscaping gave them wonderful curb appeal, while the ceiling treatments and upper dining area renovations (shown here) made the ambience warm and inviting. The food was always incredible, it just needed a more beautiful stage to be set upon.

Kalaheo Café Sign Design

Located right on the main road that flows through upcountry Kalaheo, Kalaheo Cafe’s location was perfectly situated for this fun and lively sign that communicates, “We’re a friendly place to eat. Come on in!”

Kalaheo Café Brunch Ad

This full page ad was designed to highlight the delicious breakfast and lunch choices available at Kalaheo Café.

Kalaheo Café Print Advertising

John Ferguson, the owner and executive chef, is quite a personality. We felt it was appropriate to focus on him in the advertising because he’s the kind of guy that’s just fun to hang around with. And the food? Simply superb.

Kalaheo Café Website Design

Launched in early 2012, this Kauai restaurant website includes e-commerce functionality that allows visitors to shop for Kauai, Kona and Hawaiian coffees. Built on the WordPress platform, the site is easy to maintain and administer by the client — and all credit card transactions happen seamlessly and securely. The design is fresh and delicious, just like the great food at Kalaheo Café & Coffee Co.!

Lappert’s Hawaii Product Packaging

Various packaging and product design projects which work together to create a cohesive and immersive brand experience that builds affinity with consumers.

Lappert’s Hawaii Print Advertising

This is one of Lappert’s Hawaii’s most successful ads ever. People have been known to show up in one of their stores with this ad in hand, saying, “Give me one of these, please!” Winner of a 2003 Honolulu Advertising Federation Award of Merit.

22° North Restaurant Advertising

This is the second full page ad in the series which ran in Kauai’s Menu Magazine. This ad showcases the quality of the food, and leaves your mouth watering.

22° North Print Advertising

This full page ad was designed to bring the freshness of 22° North’s “farm-to-table” concept to life and was awarded the 2010 Honolulu Advertising Federation “Silver” Award.

Splash Café Logo Design

We first helped this unique Kauai cafe to refine their product focus (crepes and coffee) and then we created this logo design around the mermaid concept that our client wanted to build the brand identity upon.

22° North Logo Design

Once the brand position was planted, this logomark grew out of the fertile soil of their new name. This logo design won a 2010 Honolulu Advertising Federation “Pele” Award.

Hanalima Bakery Logo Design

When Hanalima Bakery approached us for help, they already had a loyal local following because of their exceptionally delicious cookies, cakes, and breads (and awesome plate lunches too!). All they needed to take their business to the next level was a strong logo with a personality that matched the quality of their products.
