bar and restaurant
grist. is a contemporary casual restaurant housed in the iconic Lower Mill of Honeoye Falls. In early 2025, they launched an effort to revamp the space, giving the historic building new life. Our team had the honor of generating the perfect brand to fit the elegance and style of the restaurant. Months later, ninety two was given the opportunity to develop a logo for their new underground speakeasy. Nestled beneath grist., 1827 lounge is a tasteful bar—perfect for live music and extravagant cocktails.

MENU DESIGN
1827 Lounge
When you deliver excellence, past clients will always return.
This case study is the perfect example. After developing simple
and elegant branding for grist., our team had the opportunity
to develop a logo for their new speakeasy.
final logo.
1827 Lounge needed a logo that would enable the speakeasy to stand on its own. Where the grist. logo is all lowercase, 1827 Lounge is detailed in uppercase. This concept defines the idea of 1827 Lounge being a separate entity while still being affiliated with the grist. brand. The final logo plays on the requested theme while not being too on the nose. “Lounge” fits perfectly into “1827”, just as lock and key does.
