The process of updating the Bistro’s menus and branding was about paying homage to their well-known and beloved past, but also offer a cleaner, more sophisticated nod to its future. It needed to be distinct, but in an understated way. Friendly but refined, approachable but elegant. It needed to look old and new at the same time.

A simple colour palette of black, white and copper was introduced to replace the dated palette of forrest green and butter yellow. Black and white was selected for economical in-house printing of the menus and wine list; and copper details were added on the business cards, gift tags and gift cards — taking direct influence from the large copper bar and saucepans in the kitchen pass.

A set of icons were developed for the menus and wine list to bring a friendly and distinct character across the brand, and break up the extensive selection.

The Plimmer house icon, now a secondary logo of sorts, was created for the 20th anniversary in 2011 and has been continued throughout the branding since.

The result
