The Giddy Dolphin
Brand Identity
2023
"The Giddy Dolphin is a modern-day Irish pub in the heart of Temple Bar, Dublin. Offering not only quality food, drink and an authentic Irish experience but most importantly, the craic!"
We wanted to create a brand rooted in Irish heritage, whilst seamlessly integrating a modern touch that reflects the bar's contemporary identity.
At The Giddy Dolphin, patrons can savour traditional Irish pints and exquisite whiskeys, as well as expertly crafted contemporary cocktails. Additionally, the bar offers a dynamic array of entertainment options, including live music, sports broadcasts, Flyby darts – a cutting-edge, tech-driven multiplayer game, the first of its kind in Ireland – and a diverse range of modern food choices.
To achieve this blend of tradition and modernity, we employed a typeface that pays homage to ancient Celtic fonts, with serifs and curves reminiscent of their historical counterparts while maintaining a contemporary edge.
Moreover, an offset border adorns our website imagery and print designs, inspired by intricate Celtic borders and frames featuring corner knots. Our adaptation of the offset border aims to present a simplified, modern interpretation of this classic Celtic design element.
The selected colour palette is designed to evoke the cozy, dimly lit ambiance of traditional pubs, coupled with a contemporary shade of green, preserving the unmistakable Irish identity.
