Logo Design for Waterfront Café on Canada's West Coast

Food & Drink

With a sunny waterfront location and a street side patio, our café will provide a gathering place for customers to linger and enjoy a coffee, a snack, a meal, or even a beer or glass of wine. The Leeward Cafe will become a favourite spot for residents and a culinary destination for visitors. Leeward in a nautical term meaning "out of the wind," which is fitting as our cafe is located on the water in a quaint fishing/sailing village on Vancouver Island, Canada. And you guessed it, the patio is out of the wind!

We're located in Cowichan Bay, a unique and historic waterfront community on southern Vancouver Island, Canada. Here you'll find fishing boats and sailboats, seals and sea lions. Lots of docks and piers. A strong sense of community. A lot of summer tourists. Wonderful ocean. Amazing forests. A slower pace. A relaxed lifestyle. Our logo must be fitting of this. Nothing too modern or edgy. Nature prevails here. We want a welcoming logo that 'fits' our authentic seaside location with maybe a hint of vintage/nostalgic, but definitely not old fashioned. So, not too modern, and not old fashioned. 'Nautical' colors and visuals that match our seaside fishing village location. Perhaps ocean blue color(s), but something that easily translates to black and white too. We like the visual of a knot as it represents the tying down of boats and also represents strong community ties. We'd like a knot somewhere on the logo (We think! But you can show us other ideas too). A rope border around an oval or rectangular logo may also work, not sure. THE VISUAL is VERY IMPORTANT!! Just like Nike uses its swoosh without the word Nike, we envision using our simple visual (ie knot or other) as our "brand badge" on sandwich stickers and the like. We're excited to see your creative ideas! Thank you for helping to bring our vision to life! If you have questions, please email them to todd@truegrain.ca. Thank you, Todd
