Logo Designer Needed for Upscale Italian Restaurant (48-Hour Turnaround) - 24/12/2025 15:37 EST
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
We’re seeking an experienced logo designer to create a refined, timeless logo for Leonardo, an upscale Italian restaurant. The logo should reflect elegance, warmth, and old-world Italian sophistication, while feeling appropriate for a luxury dining environment.
This is a logo contest with one selected winner, and there may be future branding work with the chosen designer.
Brand Vibe
Leonardo is:
Elegant and refined
Romantic and intimate
European and Italian-inspired
Timeless, warm, and luxurious
The interior features deep green tones, rich wood, soft lighting, white tablecloth dining, vintage artwork, and lush plants. The logo must feel like it belongs inside the space, not just online.
Logo Direction
Preferred styles
Classy handwritten, cursive, or script-style
Elegant, flowing, slightly feminine
Timeless, refined, and legible
Also open to
Custom calligraphy
Sophisticated serif or serif-script hybrids
Subtle monograms
Designers are encouraged to explore creative interpretations that align with the restaurant’s upscale positioning.
Typography & Color
Typography inspiration includes elegant cursive or calligraphic styles, but this is not required.
Color direction should work in black, white, and single-color formats. We’re currently exploring:
Charcoal grey and ivory
Blue and khaki
Blue and beige
Charcoal and mocha
What to Avoid
Modern sans-serif restaurant logos
Trend-driven or casual aesthetics
Loud, playful, or overly decorative styles
Usage
The logo must be scalable, versatile, and highly legible across:
Signage
Menus (print and digital)
Website and social media
Merchandise
Packaging and branded collateral
Deliverables (within 48 hours)
Designers must submit three logo concepts:
1. One cursive or script-style logo
2. A second cursive or script-style variation (different direction)
3. One concept where the creative direction is completely open to you
Plus:
Primary logo file for the selected concept
Secondary or alternate logo
Color variations
Black and white versions
Files optimized for both print and digital
Requirements
Proven experience designing logos for restaurants, hospitality, or luxury brands
Strong typography skills
Ability to communicate clearly and move fast
Commitment to a 48-hour turnaround
How to Apply
Please include:
Your portfolio (especially hospitality or upscale brands)
Confirmation that you can meet the 48-hour deadline
Your project rate
This is a fast-moving project with potential for ongoing work.
