Showcase: 40 Restaurant Identity Projects

Coming up with a unique image for a business can be challenging and intimidating, especially for those who aren’t very artistically inclined. Trying to create a logo, menu, or any other kind of design can be stressful, time-consuming, and ineffective, especially when it comes to the restaurant industry. When it comes to food, everything must be in perfect harmony, and the logo for a restaurant must encompass everything, from the restaurant’s vision, to the ingredients that they use, to the food that they serve. Bad designs can give a restaurant a bad reputation and an unfriendly, uninviting vibe, therefore, designers must pay close attention to every little detail.

These are examples of superb restaurant designs created by talented artists from all around the world that will surely captivate you.
