Follow the brand’s acquisition by Inspire Brands earlier this year, Buffalo Wild Wings, the largest sports bar brand in the US, sought to develop a new playbook described as “delivering a game time experience worth sharing.” Enlisting the help of global creative consultancy Interbrand, Buffalo Wild Wings’ debuted a new logo as a first step toward refocusing the sports bar experience across its system of more than 1,200 restaurants.
The logo is a contemporary take on the traditional mark, and adds flexibility with multiple versions that can be used horizontally or vertically across a range of media. Several visual touchpoints help bring the brand to life, including capturing the story of a winged buffalo, dubbed The Buffalore, and spotlighting the range of sauces available. Applications including restaurant graphics, website, and the rewards app. The creative work is credited to Interbrand’s Cincinnati OH office.
