About the project
Located on the 100 block in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Lincoln’s Pub is a gastro-pub named for Abraham Lincoln’s 1867 visit to the area. The meat and beer-centric pub needed a weathered, worn, and established brand identity system to compliment the robust menu and industrial look of the restaurant. Inspired by the penny and Civil War-era type, the hand drawn and lettered logo along with the brand elements carries the tested and true qualities of the hearty food served in the pub.
