Keeping it simple but fresh gives City Cafe the opportunity to showcase its diverse and seasonal menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-css-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elements<br><br>+ Logo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Programs<br><br>+ Illustrator<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-css-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<p>The old logo, 2 interlocked Cs, doesn&#8217;t convey any sort of emotive aspect, and in fact, feels dated and low-brow. City Cafe is actually quite an upscale venue, tucked away behind a vine-covered gate and courtyard, and their prices reflect that. I always felt, working with the old logo, that there was a disparity between product, price, and persona&#8211;$18 for a steak salad from a place with a diner-style logo?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-94\" src=\"http:\/\/kategorrell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Logo_CityCafe.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2288\" height=\"2956\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kategorrell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Logo_CityCafe.png 2288w, http:\/\/kategorrell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Logo_CityCafe-232x300.png 232w, http:\/\/kategorrell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Logo_CityCafe-768x992.png 768w, http:\/\/kategorrell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Logo_CityCafe-793x1024.png 793w, http:\/\/kategorrell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Logo_CityCafe-973x1257.png 973w, http:\/\/kategorrell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Logo_CityCafe-508x656.png 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2288px) 100vw, 2288px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I wanted to give them a logo that was fresh and <em>au&nbsp;courant<\/em>; a representation of the physical space that would generate a feeling of familiarity and nostalgia for old customers, but presented in a way that would attract new interest to the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>The logo is quite &#8220;trendy&#8221;, yet the sheer simplicity of concept&nbsp;gives a multifarious application ability and longevity.
