The Yard: Bengaluru’s First Rec Bar, Designed for Endless Experiences

Scope Of Work

The Yard is a first-of-its-kind rec bar in Bengaluru, seamlessly blending a café, bar, restaurant, and gig space into a dynamic, ever-evolving destination. With a brand philosophy rooted in energy, discovery, and connection, The Yard needed a visual identity that could adapt to its multi-faceted nature while maintaining a strong recall.

Our goal was to craft a bold, immersive brand identity that captures the fluid, all-day vibe of the space, creating a memorable and engaging experience for its patrons.

Brand Identity & Logo System

• The custom maze-inspired logo symbolizes interconnected experiences, reinforcing The Yard’s essence as a space of discovery and movement.

• The tagline “All Day Scene” reflects the venue’s ever-evolving atmosphere, catering to different moods—from laid-back brunches to high-energy late nights.

• A contrasting visual language combines bold, futuristic design with warm, hyperlocal elements, ensuring the brand remains both edgy and welcoming.

Spatial Branding & Experience Design

• The interior branding contrasts industrial textures like metal and mesh with organic elements, mirroring The Yard’s blend of urban energy and local culture.

• At Revive Café, custom coffee cup illustrations celebrate Bengaluru’s creative community, adding a hyperlocal storytelling element to the experience.

• Wayfinding and signage were designed to be bold and functional, ensuring seamless navigation while reinforcing the brand’s distinctive visual language.
