Trevi
Brand Creation for Café & Wine Bar
Branding a One-of-a-Kind Restaurant
The Mediterranean Comes to Mashpee
TREVI CAFÉ + WINE BAR is a small restaurant located in Mashpee Commons on Cape Cod at the intersection of Market and Fountain Streets overlooking a huge fountain. The owner loved to travel and wanted to create a café with a contemporary ambiance and a dash of European romance that would serve a Mediterranean-style cuisine composed of the season’s freshest ingredients accompanied by the finest wines.
The owner not only wanted us to design the logo, but create the name for the restaurant. Through our research, we supported the owner's vision by basing the name on the world-famous Fontana di Trevi, a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy. We configured a "T" for Trevi out of a simple graphic pattern that represented flat stones often found in the public, open gathering piazzas throughout Europe. The brand colors are fresh yet earthy and stem from a warm Tuscan palette referencing the colors often found in Italy's natural landscapes.
