Alright, alright, alright! I just have to share some great semi-recent news. I found out, through word-of-mouth, that a new restaurant was opening up right in downtown Austin specializing in all sorts of sausage. Now if you know anything about me you’d know that I have a weakness for hot dogs, sausage, brats, etc. (with a side of beer, of course). It’s so, I don’t know, American! A hot summer day at the ballpark kind of feel.
Frank, located on 4th and Colorado, serves up hot dogs, cold beer, and is a self-proclaimed purveyor of artisan sausage. GENIUS! Genius name, genius slogan, the obviously had fun with this one. Not to mention, their menu looks amazing as well.
So, you might be thinking “why is she blogging about restaurants, food, etc? It seems a little off-topic.”
Well, it’s not just the food that makes this place great, it’s also the detail that was put into the design of this place. A local Austin business, The Decoder Ring, is responsible for all of the design you see for the restaurant; logotype, iconography, collateral, etc. You should really check them out, here. Their client list is very impressive and they have a great modern, hip, yet classic style. I would have to say that this would be a my dream firm to internship at.
This place is already open guys! Go get some great food and enjoy great design!
Nice post, especially your comments about the design elements. Very important.
