Building Community with Hospitality

Partners Thomas McNaughton, Ryan Pollnow, Kara Bratcher, Vanya Shekell and David Steele are the best in the business — visionary leaders and good humans who put quality first, and are committed to creating community at a time when we need it most. Since the opening of the original Flour+Water in 2009, the company’s passion for cultivating community through genuine hospitality and memorable experiences has established them as an industry leader.

We created the restaurant group’s new corporate identity, designed to fit seamlessly into their family of restaurants. (Office previously helped launch Penny Roma and redesigned the identities for Flour+Water and Flour+Water Pasta Shop.) Extracted from the Flour+Water name, the bold plus symbol represents their vision to keep creating what’s next. And it reflects the indelible impact the company’s creativity and expertise has had on the Bay Area's culinary landscape and beyond.
