Restaurant Logos
Restaurant Logos
Restaurant logos may be some of the most important logos to get right of any business type. Think about the logos children first learn to recognize. Most of the logos that a child first learns to recognize are food and restaurant logos.
Often simply seeing a restaurant logo can trigger the desire to eat at that restaurant. How many times have you seen a logo and suddenly realized that you are hungry? For me there is a Mexican Restaurant here in town that has a logo of a man in a sombrero standing in front of a Mexican flag. Every time I see that logo I start craving some Carne Asada or Enchiladas. That is the power of a good logo.
How To Design A Restaurant Logo
Restaurants rely on repeat business from returning customers who visit the restaurant again and again. The restaurant’s logo should instantly remind those customers of their dining experience at the restaurant and build the desire to visit again.
The logo should contain elements that suggest the type of food the restaurant serves. This can be as simple as incorporating the colors of a flag for an establishment that serves ethnic food or a stylized symbol that is closely related to the food, like a triangle that resembles a slice of pizza for a pizzeria.
The logo should symbolize the style of the restaurant. And elegant logo design for a fine dining experience or a symbol that has a feel of motion for a quick bustling bistro. A family dining restaurant should have a logo that expresses family and community. Colors and arrangement should set the restaurant apart from other restaurants in the area, leaving no ambiguity as to which restaurant is being represented.
A restaurant log should be as simple as you can make it. Because your product is tied to a basic primal need, your logo should speak to that need in simple bold ways that will directly tap into the customers natural drives.
Where to get a Restaurant Logo
Most large corporations already understand just how important their logo is in bringing in new customers and bringing repeat diners back for another meal. Many smaller, sole proprietor restaurants tend to miss out on really thinking this through. They just don’t understand how important the logo is to their business health.
Often you will see that they just have their name with no real logo at all. A name can be a logo, but it has to be done a certain way. Ryan’s is a popular Buffet restaurant in the Midwest and South Eastern United States. Ryan’s uses their name as a logo, but in order to pull this off they created a distinctive typeface, called a logotype, that makes the word completely different from any other representation.
Other restaurants will just grab a free clipart or a ready-made logo and use that, but this is a big mistake. A ready-made logo or a free clip art graphic can not symbolize your restaurant uniquely because others can use the same image and dilute your brand.
The best thing to do is contact a professional logo designer and work with them to create a restaurant logo that perfectly captures your restaurant’s unique dining experience and becomes an ambassador and sales force for your business.
