RESTAURANT KITSCH | Sissy’s Southern Kitchen

Media_httpwwwundercon_bcbhh
via underconsideration.com

The array of fun images and colors used for the Dallas restaurant Sissy's Southern Kitchen must be a hit with the locals.

Sure, there's a place for classy, mature, upscale elegance...But there are plenty of times when you just want to sit down in a place that makes you smile. It looks like Sissy's might fit the bill in that regard.

If the menus are indicative of the restaurant's interior, I'm pretty sure Sissy's would be on my list of favorite hang-outs.

GRAPHICS | Food Truck Typography

What better way to kick of the week than with some fun food truck graphics? Great colors, fun type, entertaining messages, and useful (I hope) QR codes all add up to a great reason to skip the restaurant and hit the streets.

A quick post...

These colorful, retro menus from Teplitzkys (in New Jersey's Chelsea Hotel) are fun and unique - definitely something out of the norm. I think they're great!

BRANDING | Lucy's Fried Chicken

Media_httpwwwpentagra_dgbgm
via pentagram.com

In the age of low-cal low-carb fare, it looks like fried chicken is alive and well in Austin, Texas!

Pentagram recently posted a spread about the brand they've developed for Lucy's Fried Chicken and it's a fun mix of vintage style and contemporary design. I love the simple script logo and the accompanying monogram (in the shape of an egg, of course). The color scheme, too, is just vibrant enough to be fun and casual.

Lots of other images at the link!

RESTAURANT PRINT | West Egg Cafe Menu

Media_httpwwwundercon_gcrcc
via underconsideration.com

If the bold, fun menu at Atlanta's West Egg Cafe is any indication...this is my kind of place! I love the simple layout and great typography. It makes for an easily-legible composition.

I also like the idea of being able to chat up my friends while occasionally glancing down at the menu, still able to figure out what's what.

FOOD PACKAGING | San Gretti’s Signature Slices

Colorful and bold, this contemporary take on the typical pizza box is nicely executed. I'm also fond of the creative logo design. The incorporation of the portrait into the composition creatively done.

BRAND EXTENSION | Sullivan Street Bakery (NY) Designs Line of Food Products

Media_httplovelypacka_aiqbh
via lovelypackage.com

Many successful restaurants achieve a dedicated following because of the combination of their food and the atmosphere of the environment. Their customers enjoy the total experience of the place.

In difficult economic times - indeed, at all times - it makes sense for restaurant owners to seek new ways to bring in revenue and strengthen their clientele's connection to the brand. Launching a line of food products is a good way to achieve this.

The design of the packaging for Sullivan Street Bakery's line of mixes and made-to-order foods is thoughtful and capable of expanding into the future, as necessary. The typography is clean and easy-to-read; and the range of colors used are warm and welcoming - presumably, just as warm and welcoming as the bakery itself.

Click the link for many more images.
