The cre­ation of Pozo’s iden­ti­ty began with the search for a name that could car­ry the weight of mul­ti­ple cul­tur­al tra­di­tions while remain­ing dis­tinct­ly mem­o­rable. Like a mas­ter chef select­ing the per­fect spice, Need­more dis­tilled the essence of bar­be­cue’s her­itage into a sin­gle, pow­er­ful word.

“Pozo” — lit­er­al­ly mean­ing ​“pit full of hot rocks” in the Mex­i­can bar­ba­coa tra­di­tion — evokes the ancient cook­ing method that pro­found­ly influ­enced Texas bar­be­cue. But the bril­liance of this nam­ing lies in its dual nature: it simul­ta­ne­ous­ly con­jures the tan­gi­ble heat of smok­ing embers and the intan­gi­ble ener­gy of cul­tur­al fusion. The name becomes a ves­sel that can com­fort­ably con­tain both authen­tic South­ern bar­be­cue tra­di­tions and the vibrant fla­vors of Qatar.

The brand iden­ti­ty for Pozo was craft­ed with the same atten­tion to detail that a pit­mas­ter gives to their sig­na­ture rub. Every ele­ment was care­ful­ly con­sid­ered to cre­ate a cohe­sive sen­so­ry experience.

The sup­port­ing graph­ics sys­tem embraces both the rus­tic authen­tic­i­ty of tra­di­tion­al bar­be­cue and the pre­ci­sion of con­tem­po­rary design. Sil­hou­ettes of live­stock, cook­ing imple­ments, and flame motifs are ren­dered with a delib­er­ate sim­plic­i­ty that com­mu­ni­cates both exper­tise and acces­si­bil­i­ty. Like the restau­rant itself, these ele­ments are care­ful­ly arranged to tell a sto­ry of cul­tur­al con­ver­gence — a visu­al bar­be­cue where dis­tinc­tive ele­ments come togeth­er to cre­ate some­thing greater than the sum of their parts.

The typog­ra­phy selec­tion echoes the con­trast between tra­di­tion and moder­ni­ty. The Stock­port Extra type­face used for ​“POZO” car­ries the robust, stur­dy char­ac­ter of tra­di­tion­al bar­be­cue sig­nage, while main­tain­ing clean lines that speak to con­tem­po­rary design sen­si­bil­i­ties. Like per­fect­ly ren­dered fat on a brisket, the let­ter­forms bal­ance sub­stance with refinement.

The sup­port­ing type­faces — Dem­ing EP for ​“BAR­BE­CUE,” Free­day Sans for the tagline, and Alter­nate Goth­ic No.1 D for the estab­lished date — cre­ate a typo­graph­ic land­scape as var­ied and com­ple­men­tary as the fla­vors in a well-craft­ed sauce.

The brand’s col­or sto­ry unfolds through three prin­ci­pal hues that work in con­cert to evoke both emo­tion­al and sen­so­ry responses:

• Black: Deep and res­olute as the night sky over desert sands, ground­ing the visu­al iden­ti­ty with authority
• Sun­rise Amber: The dis­tinc­tive orange-red that cap­tures both the glow of hot coals and the vibrant ener­gy of cul­tur­al fusion
• Sand­stone: A warm cream tone rem­i­nis­cent of Qatar’s nat­ur­al land­scape and the invit­ing com­fort of South­ern hospitality

This palette evokes both the ter­roir of Qatar and the her­itage of South­ern bar­be­cue — a visu­al rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the restau­ran­t’s cross-cul­tur­al DNA.

Pozo rep­re­sents more than just a din­ing des­ti­na­tion; it embod­ies the art of cul­tur­al con­ver­sa­tion through cui­sine. Like the slow-cooked per­fec­tion of bar­be­cue itself, the brand was devel­oped with patience and respect for tra­di­tion, while embrac­ing the oppor­tu­ni­ty for innovation.

In a world increas­ing­ly defined by cul­tur­al exchange, Pozo stands as a tes­ta­ment to the pow­er of design to cre­ate authen­tic con­nec­tions. Here, in the meet­ing of smoke and spice, tra­di­tion and inno­va­tion, East and West, Pozo cre­ates not just a meal, but a moment of gen­uine cul­tur­al communion.
