SURCO | Latin Bar & Restaurant Brand Identity

SURCO is a Latin bar and restaurant in Los Angeles where food, cocktails, vinyl and nightlife come together.

I developed a complete visual identity designed to feel warm, energetic and contemporary, without relying on the usual visual clichés associated with Latin restaurants. The system combines bold typography, a rich color palette, and art direction inspired by late nights, shared tables, music and the atmosphere of the bar.

The identity was extended across menus, signage, social media, printed materials and environmental applications, creating a flexible system that feels recognizable across every touchpoint.

Beautiful work!

I am gathering cool references for my own work as a Motion Designer, and this one caught my eye this week. Day 3 of 60-days-collecting-awesome-motion-design-references I love the way this is designed, based on abstract shapes and concepts with a coding visual language that we are all already familiar with. This is a great reference in this modern era where we deal more and more with products and services that live on the internet, not on a physical product. This animation was created by Odd Fellows in collaboration with Figma.

60 days of references is a serious commitment. Curious, are you mostly drawn to the same visual language each time, or does it shift a lot depending on the day?
