Restaurant logos with old-world character

A monogram or crest for a restaurant that wants to feel established from the first night: on the menu, the door, the bill folder and the gift voucher.

The menu is the first thing guests hold

Before the food arrives, guests read the menu for several minutes. Its weight, its type and the mark at the top tell them what sort of evening this will be. A restaurant logo with old-world character promises good bread, a proper wine list and a table nobody hurries you from.

A monogram on the menu

A Maison Brasse menu card with a red interlaced M and B monogram and three autumn dishes, on a candlelit brasserie table beside a glass of red wine.

Illustrative scene made from a real Fable design; not a photograph of a delivered order.

Maison Brasse put a red interlaced M and B at the head of a single-sheet menu with three autumn dishes, beside a candle and a glass of red wine. The monogram is small, the paper is good and the dishes have room.

Monogram or crest

A monogram suits a brasserie, a bistro or a wine bar: it reads like a name embroidered on a napkin. A crest suits a restaurant in an old building, a country inn or a place named after a family. Both work in one colour, which matters for stamping takeaway bags and printing receipts.

Symbols worth borrowing

A green branching plant with red flowers on a pale shield; Fable presentation of a Fox-Davies historical plate.

Historical design reference, presented by Fable; not a grant of arms or a new personal design.

See historic crests

A wheat sheaf for bread, a bunch of grapes for wine, a fish for the coast, a boar for the forest, a flowering branch for the season. Old heraldic plates are full of them, drawn with a confidence modern icons lack.

Where the mark travels

Menu, drinks list, the door, the bill folder, gift vouchers, invitations to a wine dinner and the thank-you card for a large party. A single mark across all of them makes a new restaurant look as if it has been there for years.

Fable draws a monogram or crest from your restaurant’s name and story, free to preview. The Business pack gives you commercial use in writing, brand files and the restaurant stationery collection: menus, drinks lists, invitations, gift vouchers, invoices, certificates, notepads and thank-you cards, with Word versions. A Fable design is a decorative emblem, not a grant of arms.
