SYMON’S DINNERS SHOW PACKAGE
This show was born out of the need to socially distance and dine outside during the COVID pandemic. Michael Symon had started developing this concept on his Instagram page and it quickly turned into a full-fledged show during the summer of 2020. We tried to keep the “vibe” of his homemade version in tact for the graphics package; we just added a little prime-time sheen. The direction is rustic and a little gritty and messy, like it came out of a professional chef’s back-pocket notebook.

An alternate version of the logo was used when inclement weather caused the show to move indoors.
Lookdev for the smoke & fire emitted by the subtitle as it burns in.
