About The Project
By The Sea

A little taste of the Mediterranean

By The Sea is a restaurant in Dahab serving Italian food in a relaxed setting right by the water. The restaurant combines casual dining with a love of good food, local art and its laid-back seaside location.

The brief was simple: create a visual identity with clear maritime vibes that could sit comfortably against the raw brick building and the colourful artwork covering its walls.

I kept the identity clean and straightforward, built around a blue and white palette and a visual language that could work across both digital and physical touchpoints.

From the logo onwards, I worked across most of the restaurant's branding — including menus, T-shirts, packaging, banners and social media.

PACKAGING & PRINT Taking the brand off the screen This was one of those projects where the identity got to leave the computer and become part of the actual experience. I designed packaging, menus, T-shirts and other printed pieces as part of the same visual system, making sure the branding worked just as well on a takeaway package as it did on the restaurant walls or a social media post. The result is a simple, flexible identity with enough personality to work across all the little details that make up a restaurant brand.

From fine dining to casual takeaway, 'By the Sea' is the place to go. The secret is a well-sorted Italian cuisine, cozy tables, and sunbeams by the water. Adding to its charm are the works of local artists that decorate its walls. 'By the Sea' is a must-visit while in Dahab.

The idea was to keep it simple and with a clear maritime vibes. A blue and white colour palette that contrast with the raw brick building and the art pieces exposed on its walls.

Katuak has had the pleasure to take care of most of the branding details from logo to menus, t-shirts, packaging, banners and social media design.
