STELLA STEAKHOUSE

rebrand + menus

For the accompanying restaurant of the Stella Cinema in Rathmines, we undertook a full rebrand of the Stella Diner with the goal of upgrading the premises and attracting more local footfall. Housed in a stunning former bank building, we drew inspiration from the location’s original architectural details, weaving them into the new brand identity. This historical context was paired with rich references to traditional butchery - aged timber, classic meat cleavers, heavy blocks, and the art of proper steak cooking. The logo itself was born from the constraints and charm of the building’s narrow horizontal signage site, resulting in a refined, elongated wordmark that nods to the heritage and authenticity of a true steakhouse experience.
