Project:
Nowhere Good is a family-owned American diner in Arizona with a modern twist on the classic roadside experience. The goal was to create a brand identity that feels authentic to its desert roots, while also being approachable, memorable, and flexible across signage, menus, merchandise, and digital platforms.

The challenge: The name “Nowhere Good” is ironic and playful, but the restaurant itself is warm, welcoming, and nostalgic. The branding needed to balance that tension: standing out with personality while staying true to the comfort and familiarity of an American diner.
