Mexican Menu Left Side	Mexican Menu Right Side
Fernando's Hideaway Mexican Menu (above) This menu contains a logo that our designer created for Fernando's Hideaway, a cute little cactus made from halipino peppers, basking in the sun with his sombrero. This logo can be adapted to any of Fernando's promotional products and signage. We suggested creating blackboards with the logo, to announce activities and menu specials. Sandwich boards could also be constructed based on this design, for wonderful restaurant curb appeal. The theme of your restaurant and decor are carefully considered so that our menu rendering will coordinate. The Mexican menu uses a wonderful tomatoe red background colour, guaranteed to whet the appetite. It uses fun fonts and embellishments, that relate to the Mexican theme. Altogether a fantastic menu.
Golden Taps Wine Bar and Pub Menu Left Side	Golden Taps Wine Bar and Pub Menu Right Side
Golden Taps Wine Bar and Pub Menu (above) This restaurant didn't need signage, but they did need someone to incorporate the signage into a new menu. Golden Taps had been expanding their repertoire of beers and wines as well, and felt that it was time. The left side of the menu shows the Golden Taps signage, while the right side of the menu shows a stained glass panel that is repeated throughout the restaurant. The design challenge here was to incorporate these elements into the menu, plus all the wines and beers, plus! all the fine dishes that the Taps' chef had created to set off the flavours of the wines and beers. This, solution, is much more dramatic than the original menu which featured street side photographs of these elements. The old Golden Taps menu, did not inspire the owner to list the very expensive wines that he carried. Sale of these wines became an after thought by the wait staff. Now, boldly presented, the more expensive wines are selling well. And the wonderful stained glass, now incorporated, is a conversation piece, with owner and wait staff fielding questions proudly. Needless to say, the stained glass orders have picked up, for the owner's brother. Amazing what a designer can do for your net worth.
The American Eatery Menu Left Side	The American Eatery Menu Left Side
The American Eatery (above) One of our designer's friends in New York City, challenged Eleanor with an idea to design a concept for the American Eatery, which could inspire a restaurant chain, within North America and outside of the U.S.A. This restaurant would offer gourmet food cooked with American grown meats, fish, produce, and recipes. Eleanor came up with this concept. According to Eleanor, "Why export American food, when America's greatest export product is television?!" Thus we have the American Eatery menu, which promises you the food of the stars. And of course, the menu is star studded. But elle, didn't go tacky, assigning bad names to the dishes based on actors names, no. That's not the point. These are well known Americans, stars, who would eat and enjoy a repast at the American Eatery. The global village really only knows America through television re-runs. That's a place to start. According to elle, "Let's present America the way the world knows it, then we can educate and broaden that concept, with the introduction of American grown products, cuisine and service.
