Mynah’s
Bar & Bistro
Mynah's Bar and Bistro is a contemporary bar and dining destination at The Greenwood Hotel, known for its live music, nightlife, and elevated social atmosphere. Inspired by the region’s cultural richness and the Common Hill Mynah bird, the brand balances organic fluidity with modern sophistication.
I developed the visual identity for Mynah’s, creating a distinct brand separate from the hotel while capturing the energy and elegance of the space. The flowing custom wordmark and minimal visual language were designed to feel expressive, refined, and memorable reflecting both the dynamism of live entertainment and the bistro’s contemporary aesthetic.
NAMING
BRANDING & IDENTITY
FOR GREENWOOD HOTELS
The identity takes inspiration from the mynah bird itself. The signature 'M' was derived from the distinctive yellow flap around the bird's eye, resulting in a simple mark that also resembles a bird in flight. This subtle transformation became the foundation of the identity, creating a symbol that feels elegant, memorable and deeply connected to the restaurant's surroundings.
The visual language extends the story of the mynah through abstract graphic elements inspired by its birdsong. Flowing line patterns, derived from sound waves, appear across menus, coasters and printed collateral, adding rhythm and movement to the identity. Paired with an earthy colour palette inspired by Assam's landscape, the system creates a warm and cohesive brand experience that celebrates both nature and place.
