Challenges: 

The nightlife scene in Ba Son area was missing something special—a place that would redefine the city experience. A place that didn’t just serve delightful dishes but also created an atmosphere where every evening felt like a celebration. Barson identified this gap and aimed to establish itself as the ultimate destination for every night out.

Solution: 

To achieve this, Barson embarked on transforming Vietnam’s nightlife scene by introducing the new concept of vibe-dining. Inspired by Sai Gon City’s maritime history at Ba Son, the bar cleverly integrated historical context into its modern allure. The strategy focused on highlighting Barson’s functional value as a vibe-dining bar while accentuating an emotional connection to the high-profile Ba Son area. This positioning dubbed Barson as “The go-to vibe dining in Ba Son.”

The logo design was a symbolic nod to elevating standards, with a ligature connecting the letters “R” and “S,” symbolizing “A bar that raises the bar.” Accompanied by a color palette blending dark green, grey, black, and white, the design exuded power, mystery, and sophistication. The creation of the “Barson logo strip” offered a versatile and unobtrusive visual asset complementing the logo seamlessly.

Result: 

From conceptualization to welcoming its inaugural guests, Barson transformed into a vibrant haven, offering an immersive experience that combined lively vibes and exceptional cuisine. The fusion of heartwarming ambiance and delectable cuisine marked Barson’s entry, promising to redefine entire night-outs for those seeking a sophisticated destination.
