Project: Logo and Branding

The Coral Wig- another extraordinary vision of the Harlan-Pierce Group, inspired by elegant clubs in the South Pacific where a young naval officer might linger for a drink and a conversation.

As always, Lane Harlan knew precisely the vibe she was aiming for: her brief was “It’s been weathered over the years and the tourists stopped coming, but you can tell it used to be grand.”

Shortly after opening, the Coral Wig was named one of the best new bars in America 2024 by Bon Apétit Magazine.

The challenge for this menu: to fit a wide array of cocktails and spirits in as little space as possible, while keeping the menu legible by candlelight. Blackletter-style headings were done by hand to add warmth and authenticity to the design.
