Logo Design Brief
We're looking for a redesign (current logo attached) or a completely new logo. The current logo has a lot of fine detail which is difficult to embroider/paint/etc, so we need something simpler. Texture is ok if it can be left out in certain applications.
The Coal Yard is a small town restaurant and bar. Converted 30 years ago from an old coal depot, the theme has traditionally been trains, but that isn't necessarily required in the redesign. The food and atmosphere is similar to Chili's or TGIF: grilled and fried food, salads, draft beer and cocktails.
We are open to color suggestions. The interior of the restaurant has a rustic look.Think: red brick walls, sun-bleached barn wood, accented with sunflowers and burlap. We've also used cream and hunter green on the exterior.
The new logo will be used for all new marketing materials and merchandise. Thank you!
