Creating a logo in one week is near impossible when you have a client paying you to develop their entire brand imaging. Often you will have a lot more time and you will check in with them often to find out if you are heading in the right direction or not.
Mony's is a local favorite, rightly so. It is a wonderful place to get super great food. Their sign is so iconic and recognizable.
It is colorful and shows so much about them as a company (silhouetted city skyline, sunset, dolphin, blue skies, and beautiful hand-lettered writing).
Then it became a sign with beaches, super clean lettering, the city, and now has stylized clouds.
Then you look at their website and instagram presence and the logo has evolved into a flowing, cursive, one-color, name.
There is nothing bad about this sign, at all, they just made a call to refresh their brand
When they did, they started simplifying their design ideas. Then they hired an agency to create their site.
The result is below.
Pay attention to the logo, but also the supporting illustrations.
