Fado Irish Pub

For nearly 30 years, Fadó Irish Pub has been more than a place to grab a pint—it’s been a storyteller, a gathering place, and a piece of living history. But even the most beloved brands need to evolve The challenge? Refreshing the identity of an already established favorite without losing its heart.

Fado-Branding-Creative-Direction

The starting point was the name itself. “Fadó” (f'doe) is Gaelic for “long ago,” the phrase that begins countless Irish tales. But this isn’t just a story about the past—it’s about what’s next. The rebrand needed to balance heritage with momentum, tradition with evolution.

The new logo became the anchor of that vision. A subtle, dog-eared corner—a small but powerful detail—symbolizes a page being marked, a story still in progress. It honors the rich history within Fadó’s walls while signaling to longtime patrons and new guests alike that the best chapters are yet to be written.

A BRAND THAT LIVES AND BREATHES

The rebrand did more than update the look—it re-energized the experience. The fresh identity:

Reinforced brand loyalty by respecting Fadó’s deep roots while introducing a design that feels modern and relevant.
Created a stronger emotional connection by framing Fadó as not just a pub, but a place where stories unfold in real time.
Positioned the brand for the future with an identity that can evolve alongside its ever-growing community.

THE RESULT:RAISING A GLASS TO THE NEXT CHAPTER

A brand that feels timeless yet fresh, familiar yet forward-looking. Because great stories don’t just sit on a shelf. They’re told, shared, and lived—one pint at a time.
