Communication briefLets Eat & Drink Like Kings, Zakuski and Vodka for All...
Bistro Gambrinus is a unique spot in the city that manages to have a very diverse vibe. San Francisco is known for so many niche sub cultures, but this is one of the places where I see these sub cultures diverge and come together. My goal is to make this point relevant within the logo and brand identity of the bar. Bistro Gambrinus has been around for over twenty years serving unique dishes, specifically of the Eastern European and Russian variety. What is especially refreshing is that the plates served for you are contemporary in style and taste, when often Russian cuisine fails to do that. The spot is popular for both its food and beer, withhundreds of foreign beers on tap. Old Russian men amongst young USF jocks can be seen watching the game, next to famillies celebrating birthdays and cheering in Russian - it is really a multi cultural and non-ageist community. The location is full of neons and beer signage, with wooden tables and golden accents - the flat screens buzz all around you but not in an obtrusive way. It is typically very busy and loud.
My target is the young, hip american community to further understand and appreciate Eastern European trends and culture. He or she is between 20 and 30, lives with friends, roommates or spouse, and loves to go out and explore unique food - after all, thats largely what living in San Francisco is about. He or she loves sports, and loves the communal vibe of rooting for a team. He or she is willing to try new and great sensory experiences, from borscht to pickled herring with beer. The new brand identity is meant to freshen up an already well established community.
Bistro Gambrinus is unique in that there is very few competitors. Other than the few russian shops on Geary and Cafe Prague in the financial district, BG is the only one that combines russian cuisine and a bar like contemporary feel. They bring quality food to the table, and an exotic-”far east” feel to Americans who are intrigued. Their setbacks are subjective; the decor to me seems outdated and its dark in there. Their colorscheme is brooding and unappealing of maroons and forest
greens. Their logo has a lowercase g instide of an uppercase B, surrounded by an oval and fork and knife as if its on a platter. Cliche, typical and expected.The message I’m trying to convey is that Bistro Gambrinus can be much friendlier and can showcase their exotic food service in an americanized, contemporary way. What you get here is quality in food and service, by real russians whose mothers and grandmothers have been making them this food for generations. The design is intended to be classic looking, with an etched image feel, with a serif font that looks traced or embellished, thats supposed to appear ‘manly’, but friendly all the same. The images are of “manly men”, or “beer”, or “swords, crowns and symbols of royalty, alpha-maleness, and the concept of ‘eating like kings’.
The audience should be able to look at the logo and feel important, deserving of quality food, soething they’d go in for after a hard day at work, to eat and drink and be merry with friendly locals. The design wil be bolder, less scattered and consistent throughout decor, menues, etc.
