Entry Description

The project consists of creating a bar brand for pinball's fan. The essence of the brand is a revival of the 80’s, from which pinball machines are an icon. The name Bário – the chemical element – appears as a catalyst, incorporating the New Wave aesthetic, materialized in street posters, pixel art.

The language project is composed of its own typography (Space In Vader), illustrations and humorous phrases, combined with a citrus color palette, vibrant and loaded with neon, integrated into the architecture, to create the almost stroboscopic atmosphere of Bário.

Bio

Laika is a design studio in a small tree-lined village in São Paulo. Just like the space travel female dog that gave its name to the Laika office, it's a way of looking at the same object from a different point of view. Since 2001, Laika has been traveling through the most diverse design modalities, always beginning from a method that starts from semiology and discourse analysis, for brand building.
