When the owners of Routier came up with the concept of doing casual French cuisine, they knew they needed a sign to match that atmosphere. We were tasked with bringing their elegant logo to life with gold leaf at their corner restaurant. Chef John Paul Carmona & celebrity pastry chef Belinda Leong have a pedigree for excellence and their new venture displayed all their talents from delicious cocktails to innovative deserts and of course a rotating variety of seasonal French inspired cuisine.
For the signage we chose an evergreen outline to match the accents in the restaurants exterior as it also provided a subdued look. We selected 23 karat gold and executed the sign with a matte finish. While a sign is such a small part of a restaurant, it does provide diners with a first impression on their experience. Luckily this reverse glass gold leaf sign helps convey that message even before first bite.

The sign can even be seen in local Check, Please! Bay Area.
