The Front Door

Creative direction and design for a legendary city venue

Project Background

The Front Door is one of Galway city’s biggest and most popular bars and restaurants. Its customer base ranges from 20-somethings onwards and everyone from locals, professionals students and tourists pass through its doors. With 5 bars spread across 2 floors it somehow manages to maintain an intimate, cosy old pub feel that serves good food during the day and switches to a party vibe that increases as the night goes on Great food and drink cocktails, live music, sport and a 7-night late bar make it one of the most well-loved bars in the city.

The Work

My starting point was to use the existing logo and build several complementary visual identities for the venue accommodating the different aspects: Food menus, cocktail menus, event posters, sports posters. Alongside this I designed entirely separate branding for the Front Doors branded Whiskey Bar Sonny Molloy’s.
