Contrada Restaurant Branding by Bill Russell
These iconic illustrations were created by Bill Russell for Contrada, a new upscale Italian eatery in San Francisco. The thinking on the illustrative branding was to incorporate the image of an elegant swan and a pattern of California poppies into the shield and a flag formats used in the Palio Race and Festival of Siena, Italy. Bill worked with design firm VK Design of Mill Valley, California.
An elegant swan in a shield format becomes the iconic brand for the Contrada Restaurant in San Francisco.
The swan and a pattern of California poppies complete the composition in a square format for the Contrada Restaurant identity.
