Description: Our clients at Harlem Vintage realized it was time to open up a swanky new wine bar to compliment their retail space in Harlem. Although, the bar’s name is a very clear and direct reference to “wine being the nectar of the gods,” we decided to take a skewed approach to the visual brand. By reinterpreting the nectar reference it opened up a number of other directions for us to take the identity. We thought by representing it as a place to be, patrons would “flock” to it. As the story goes, we made a cheeky little joke with our client when they asked what kind of bird we modeled for the logo, “a harlembird - of course.” That turned out to be the element that sealed the deal on that treatment, you can never underestimate the power of quick wit.

Pictures speak 1000 words! Okay, maybe not 1000, but we do put a lot of thought into our concepts, and often leave our work to various interpretations.
