A Sea of Names and Competition

Point Seven delivers a menu of globally-influenced, sustainably-sourced seafood in an elegant Midtown Manhattan destination. As the name denotes, 70% of Earth’s surface is made up of ocean, which makes for a vast palette of ingredients from which Chef Franklin Becker and his team have to choose. Because the restaurant does not focus on one particular style of cuisine, rather selecting and riffing on exceptional preparations with influences from around the world, it was important that we zoom out to the big picture. What is the thing that connects the dots of all of these seemingly disparate cuisines and styles? It’s the water, and carefully selected bounty of the world’s oceans… that 70%.Running with this theme throughout, we pulled in textures of oyster shells and bathymetric charts (seafloor maps), flowing typography, and organic materials to mimic and accent the physical space of the restaurant.We crafted the entire brand system, from naming to napkin rings, and everything in between. Then we helped them spin off a fast-casual, but high-end, to-go sushi concept that will live next door to Point Seven… Bento by .7, designing the brand, signage, menu boards, and custom packaging.

Their responsiveness to feedback and ability to accurately translate and implement it into the work set them apart. We were so impressed with the results that we happily referred additional business their way.

Project Description

Primer Grey provided us with a variety of innovative naming options for our real estate firm, ultimately helping us choose the distinct name, Ancorian. Additionally, they presented multiple rounds of creative logo designs with different color schemes to capture the essence of our brand. They also crafted our initial website design.

Internal and external feedback has been overwhelmingly positive since collaborating with Primer Grey. Their expertise and attention to detail justified the investment, making them a valuable partner. Despite delays on our end, they maintained constant communication and kept the project moving forward efficiently.

Summary

Working with Refetrust was a positive experience overall. We recommend future clients to have a clear idea of their vision to help the team deliver a product that accurately represents their brand. The team at Refetrust, particularly Mercedes, demonstrated a high level of detail-oriented and accountable work throughout the project.

Project Description

In the initial stages, we provided a comprehensive 30-page document outlining our vision for the brand identity, encompassing color schemes and overall aesthetics. The team at Refetrust expressed that we were the first clients to present such detailed work typically done during the discovery phase. Refetrust presented us with seven distinct logo and color palette proposals for our selection. Additionally, they undertook the design and development of our website in alignment with our new branding identity.

Pros

Primer Grey delivered a website that captured the essence of our vision very well. They provided different logo and branding options for us to choose from and designed and developed our website too. The team stayed on budget, had solid communication with us, and provided quick responses to our inquiries. Mercedes, the designer we worked closely with, demonstrated great accountability and care for delivering our project.

Cons

The project took longer than initially planned due to our learning curve in web development. We encountered delays in aspects such as researching shipping providers, which we were not fully aware of. However, these challenges did not have a negative impact on our overall experience.
