Greatest logo for a steakhouse EVER!
This is Judson’s Steakhouse in downtown Grand Rapids. Pardon the picture - I had to use my phone to take it and they don’t have a version of it online.
As a note: while it’s hard to see here, the eye is a little X! I love it. It’s enough to get me to look past the fact that everyone knows it’s impossible to balance a cow like that, alive OR dead…
Photography can be gorgeous. And photography of food - well, shoot… one of the greatest design opportunites ever. Enter… This Week For Dinner.
The site’s description reads: “This Week for Dinner(TM) is a place where we can share ideas for weekly menu planning. Every Sunday I post my weekly dinner plan. TWFD friends can then post their menus in the comments section, providing me (and everyone else) with fresh ideas every week! I also post other fun ‘foodstuffs’ throughout the week. ”
The blogger is Jane Maynard, who is, as it turns out, my sister. And let me tell you, she does a fabulous job of taking great ideas and using photography to illustrate them. The site itself is your general blog layout, with a white background and cleanly designed logo and banner. The rest of the visual character for the site comes from her photos.
The site itself was a great inspiration for a site concept I’ve been working on at work, but that’s a whole other story… meanwhile, she had a nice posting awhile back about cutting pancakes for toddlers with a pizza cutter.
Simple AND brilliant.
And what does she use to cut her pizza? I’m glad you asked… (click the picture to read more).
