Building your brand. The process of creating great restaurant signs
Our team at Vision Shopfitters has vast experience in carrying out restaurant interior design and fit-out projects across industries. Over the years, we have helped numerous businesses set themselves apart from the competition by creating efficient branding and signage design. To ensure that we design and create restaurant signs that reflect your brand, business and values best, we follow specific procedures throughout the restaurant signage and logo design process.
Step 1. Understanding your business and your values
A logo or signage design can only be as good as the representation it makes of a business. In other words, no restaurant sign will be efficient unless it designed and created with a clear understanding of what it embodies and what impression it should make. As a result, the first step in creating successful logo and signage designs is developing a deep understanding of the business and values it aims to represent.
Once contacted, we will work closely together with you to create a plan and develop an understanding of your business, goals and values. Taking into account the style and type of your restaurant, as well as the target group and pricing, we help define your brand identity and draft designs that represent your goals and values best.
Step 2. Planning & Design
After developing an understanding of your business and vision, the planning and design phase begins. Taking into account your business goals and values, we help create a unique brand identity and prepare design concepts.
During this process, we pay particular attention to:
- Colours. Colours can profoundly impact how people perceive your brand and business. Different colours evoke different emotions and subconsciously influence the way people think about your business. Taking these into account, we create designs that send the right message to customers.
- Fonts. Besides colours, choosing the right font(s) is another critical aspect of creating engaging restaurant signs. Taking into consideration the style and type of your restaurant, we help select the right fonts that are easy to read and are instantly recognisable.
- Shape and size. Based on the size and style of your restaurant, we help determine the right proportions for both interior and exterior signage for your restaurant. Doing so ensures that all signs are easily noticeable, but are not too overpowering.
- Consistency. We know that when creating the logo and signage design for restaurant, consistency is key. We ensure that our designs reflect your brand and business best, while staying consistent with the existing interior design concept.
Step 3. Quotation, Specification and Approval
During this stage, we provide a detailed quotation and specifications to ensure our vision is in line with yours. Working closely together with you, we refine the proposed designs and send our plans for approval. Using efficient illumination techniques, and taking advantage of logos, speciality letters, styles and graphics we maximise visual impact and finalise the concept.
Step 4. Manufacturing and Installation
Once design plans are approved, the manufacturing process can start. Using hard-wearing materials and finishes, and playing with solid, semi-transparent and clean materials we bring to life unique signs that communicate your values and transmit a sense of quality.
Our experienced joiners and craftsmen then install all signage and ensure that all quality criteria are met. We guarantee all our designs and offer an unrivalled after-care service. Our architects and designers can take care of all planning and advertisement permission required from local authorities where required.
