Menu Design

Overview

Lucha libre is heavily embedded in the cultural fabric of Mexico. The goal for this project was to bring an authentic lucha libre experience to the United States. I decided to place Rudos in San Diego, CA for its familiarity with lucha culture. The menu for Rudos served as the anchor for this project and had to incorporate the unique colors, textures, and characters associated with "Las Luchas".

The logo is made from custom typography. "Rudos" are the bad guys in lucha libre, so I wanted the logo to be rough, bulky, and slightly chaotic.

Since this is a themed bar, I saw the opportunity to make the branding illustrative and fun. Making the typography and wrestlers the focus was key for authenticity.
