Reluctant Hero – Design / Illustration / Print / Branding

9Bar Coffee

After a series of delays, this weekend finally sees a project that we’ve been working on since back in 2011, finally come to life!

We have been working closely with Newcastle’s GUSTO Group, and the superb xsite architecture, to create something radically different for the city. The initial vision conjured up between ourselves and Gusto group has developed into something pretty spectacular.

Branding the venue from the ground up, the process has included printing bespoke artwork onto heavily rusted steel sheets, wrapping huge areas in printed 9Bar poster artwork, and creating signage both interior and exterior.

The place really has to be seen in person, and of course, the coffee / snacks / beers will be second to none. With complimentary WiFi to boot, we can see this quickly becoming quite the hangout, and a welcome addition to Newcastle’s somewhat stale café culture.

The doors to this incredible little coffee house will be flung open this week, to coincide with the Theatre Royal’s Birthday Blaze, so get yourselves down this weekend to see what we’re so excited about!

Thanks Rich for the photography!
