We packaged our client's identity system into a brand style guide, including logo specs, typography, color palette, iconography, and patterns. This guide is used as a reference for internal teams, vendors, and others who are authorized to work with The Vesper brand.

Menu Design

We designed menus that connect customers to the brand both in the restaurant and online. Printed on White Premium NeverTear Paper, these menus are durable, easy to wipe off, and weather-proof for outdoor dining.

Client Testimonial

I've been working with Clokendagger for about a year and a half now. They did fantastic work with our restaurant's menu and logo. Josh took my elementary school level sketches and turned them into exactly what I was looking for. Gave me so many great options it was hard to choose. Also, very helpful in regards to website and social media. Can't say enough good things. Expectations exceeded!
