Name, concept, identity, packaging, print and merchandise
01 · The name

Named for the first flight

Kitty Hawk takes its name from the first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina: a fitting name for a restaurant inside an airport. We developed the concept and the name with Strategic Hospitality, then gave the brand its pilot, a cat at the controls of a vintage plane.

02 · The identity

One mark, a complete system

A primary mark with secondary lockups, a red, yellow and black palette, and a serif paired with a script, set down in a brand guide so the system holds up wherever it is printed.

03 · The room

The brand, built into the room

We helped select the restaurant’s finishes, tile included. The counter front carries the brand’s script, its colors and its pilot.
