THE COURTHOUSE HOTEL

THE CLIENT

Bohemian, down to earth, grungy, funky and unpretentious: the Courthouse Hotel is a gem of a local venue in the Sydney suburb of Newtown. On any given day, locals, students, firemen, plumbers and artists will be enjoying a beer at the bar. The bistro menu is brimming with old favourites such as the Courty Burger and the Chicken Parmigiana. The 19th century hotel has the prettiest and most spacious courtyard in Newtown, offering a tranquil getaway from the noise and business of King Street.

THE BRIEF

OUR APPROACH

Named after the real court house further up the road, the owners wanted to pay homage to the hotel's roots. In keeping with the judicial theme, we created an iconic logo of the well-known 'lady of justice' in a bold, monochromatic style.
