Logo Design Brief
We need a logo design for a new restaurant in the southeast pennsylvania/philadelphia suburbs that serves smoked BBQ food. Our location was at one time the town firehouse (Engine 23). Casual atmosphere with dine in or take out. Cold beer is available at our bar or to take out. Event catering is also available. Owners are lifelong friends. The final design should communicate our restaurant is a friendly "neighborhood" business that primarily serves BBQ.
Updates
Might be nice to have flames behind, or inside a fire shield incorporated with the words. Thanks!
