The Challenge

Saints Barrel is the freshest new hangout spot in downtown San Luis Obispo. Coming into their new endeavor, they were certain about a few things. First, they had the best combination of wines, provisions, and group space in SLO, including a patio overlooking the San Luis Obispo Creek. Second, they had a name, derived from the ‘San’ in San Luis Obispo and a wine barrel. Third, they liked the idea of a bee because of its cultural and historical significance. What they lacked was a brand identity that could bring all that together in one cohesive visual voice.

The Solution

We conducted extensive exploration into the Saints Barrel brand itself, along with some in-depth target customer research and a thorough audit of competitors in SLO. The summary of our findings was that the space itself—with its deep, organic, wine-themed interior vibe and spacious accommodation for groups inside or creekside—that makes Saints Barrel unique and superior among competitors, and most appealing to their socially-oriented target customer.

The brand that resulted is a sharp, modern, mature identity laid on a solid, strategic foundation that communicates precisely at the intersection of who Saints Barrel is, what they do best, and what their target customer values most.
