Brief
TYGA required a bold, retro-modern brand identity that could match the venue’s 70s Bangkok–inspired interiors while standing confidently as a neighbourhood hospitality brand on Koornang Road. The client sought a playful yet refined brand system that felt “Stylo Milo!”—cool, charismatic and instantly recognisable across signage, menus, uniforms, merch and digital touchpoints. The brief emphasised capturing Southeast Asian nostalgia, music culture, cocktail energy and an effortlessly stylish dining personality.
Challenges
A major challenge was creating a brand system flexible enough for multiple programmes—lunch, dinner, cocktails, DJs—without losing coherence. The identity also needed to harmonise with the interior's strong cherrywood and emerald scheme while remaining distinctive. Achieving an iconic logomark that felt both “retro Asian” and “Carnegie-cool” required extensive exploration of type, monograms and cultural cues.
