Guy Fieri Invades Times Square

Guy's American Kitchen and Bar Logo, New

Opened this month, Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar is a 16,000-square-foot restaurant in Times Square that sits 500 people and features three separate bars. As the name implies, the joint is owned by Food Network superstar (and national annoyance) Guy Fieri, co-owner of various other restaurants and one of the most popular hosts and personalities of the aforementioned food channel. There is no credit for the identity or interiors and this is for a stand-alone restaurant so it breaks a little bit with my publishing criteria but the project is worth a look.

Texas Farm Bureau

Texas Farm Bureau Logo, Before and After

Established in 1933, the Texas Farm Bureau is a member-controlled and financed organization that provides “a voice for farmers, ranchers, rural citizens and everyone interested in preserving and protecting this way of life” and one of its main functions is grassroots policy development. The new logo has been designed by Interbrand. More images here. Press release here. As far as updates go, this is one of the most remarkable, simply because of how un-designed the old one was.

Thanks to James I. Bowie for the tip.

If this Chicken’s a Kickin’ don’t Come a Cluckin’

Kickin' Chicken Logo, Before and After

With the first location opened in 1997, The Kickin’ Chicken is a full service, full bar, full menu restaurant featuring chicken wings, tenders, wraps, sandwiches and burgers. (Hungry and thirsty yet?).

A Monster Deal

Muncha Cruncha Logo, New

Launched this year in Melbourne, Australia, MunchaCruncha is a mobile application that will allow restaurants and other food venues to broadcast meal deals giving users the opportunity to scope out said deals via food type, location, or price and then, from the magic of their own phone, coordinate with friends to get together or just let them know about the deal. The next Foursquare it might be not, or at least not until it launches with the SXSW nerdcore. The most earth shattering or game changing idea it is not either. And the biggest, most influential app it isn’t. (Sorry, not sure why I’m forming sentences like Yoda). But it has a monster as a logo and, OMG, we could use a logo with a monster in it around here. The MunchaCruncha identity has been designed by Lucas Melbourne.
