Podboys Restaurant

The Podboy name has been part of Cleveland’s bar scene since the 1940s, spanning over four generations and five locations. Drawing on that history and the restaurant’s already-established interior style, we created an identity that feels nostalgic, welcoming, and full of character.

For the logo, we designed a retro-inspired wordmark with playful curves, complemented by a muted color palette and subtle vintage details. We also designed editable menus so the team can easily update without disrupting the design. The result is a brand that feels like a local café that’s been part of the neighborhood for years.
