A refreshed wordmark anchors the identity with a confident, enduring presence, while the surrounding visual system adds movement and personality throughout the restaurants. The color palette draws from the lively tones of the Gulf, clear blues, warm sunshine, and coastal textures, creating an atmosphere that is fresh, invigorating, and unmistakably Florida. Together, these elements form a cohesive brand experience that honors the legacy of Anna Maria Oyster Bar while carrying its spirit forward in a way that feels both modern and enduring.
