Take Your Business to the Next Level with the Right Bar Logo
Coming up With the Right Bar Concept
There are many things you might have in mind when opening a bar. Having a clear concept of the bar you want to have is a great way to establish what it will be all about. Think of the concept as the thread that pulls everything together. Do you want to have a friendly neighborhood bar? Maybe a sports bar? What about a bar that focuses on artisanal beer? Figuring this out is key to building a successful bar business and have people coming back and back again.
Create a Bar Logo That People Will Love
Having a strong brand can make or break your bar, so make sure yours represents exactly what you want to say about your business. If you already have a logo, but it doesn’t quite fit your bar anymore, you can always remake it and rebrand your business.
Your bar logo should represent and compliment the whole concept behind your bar. When you’re building your logo, think of these three things.
- What colors are my favorite/compliment my concept?
- What type of fonts would I want my logo to have?
- What icon best represents my bar?

Marketing For Your Bar
Out of all the things you have to consider when opening a bar, one of the most important ones is the marketing efforts that come with having one. Think of marketing strategies that go with the whole concept you’ve been working with. There are three types of marketing efforts you can try:
- Word of Mouth: This is what people have to say about you. Nowadays word of mouth is much more powerful because people have many other channels were to express themselves. If people are having a good time at your bar they’ll probably post about it on social media, same goes for when they have a bad experience. So keep this in mind when designing your marketing efforts. Apps like Foursquare or websites like Yelp are a great place for people to leave their comments and for new customers to find you. Make sure to keep an eye on these channels and see what people have to say about your bar.
- Social Media: Having active social media channels can be a great way to set yourself apart from other bars in your area. Also, it’s a great way to market towards the right segment of people with tools like Facebook and Instagram Ads. Having a strong social presence can be the way to be the top of mind of people that are deciding where they’ll hang out. Social Media is also a great place to post about your bar’s promos or special events that will be going on.
- Traditional Marketing: Many college campuses, bars, and restaurants have bulletin boards where you can post flyers and posters for your events. If your bar is hosting an event, making a poster and putting it up in these spaces just makes sense.
Making Merch for Your Bar
Merch is another way to keep building your bar brand. Making merch like t-shirts, bar glasses or hats can really set the mood. Making bar merch mockups can really let you see how awesome your logo will look in real life situations.
