Design and branding solution mavericks Designers Anonymous give the norm a rest with this quirky branding design revival of a East London venue, Fika Bar & Kitchen.
The venue needed a facelift when competition from other restaurants and cafes got the best of them. The rebranding solution implemented by Design Anonymous to bring in a fresh new audience was giving Fika a multi-faceted branding design identity that plays on taking a break from daily life and its mundane routines.
The rebranding is subtly expressed using a super fun mix of random photographs, typography and illustrations to enforce the ‘Take a Break’ Fika theme.
The quirky makeover resulted in positive sales for the venue -- Fika’s weekday trade approximately tripled in volume -- proving that edgy and innovative branding solutions are always one of the best options when it comes to driving sales and making outdated stuff seem fresh and exciting.
