1. Famous Dave’s is a company filled with
some of the most passionate operators
in the business. I loved working with
them. During my time at Dave’s I
designed a new prototype and
developed a kit of parts to establish a
strong clear trade dress for the brand.

3. Famous Dave’s does a very large take out
and off premise business. Building
dedicated to-go entrances that didn’t look
like an after thought was very important to
maintaining the emphasis placed on the togo business. I placed a high priority on
making sure we put our best foot forward
on the to-go front.
4. Getting a consistent trade dress
look on the many types of
buildings we did was a challenge
but one I think we did very well.
I know drove some people crazy
insisting that it needed to be
recognizable if you squinted
your eyes no matter what the
building shape.
5. I went to an old
friend to come up
with a banner
system that
emulated the type
the company uses at
the many event they
enter (and typically
win).
6. The interior décor at Dave’s is done by a great group of people that
spend most of their time collecting the fun items they use. Greg
Bartholomew, a long time Dave’s guy deserves much of the credit the
for the fun decoration.

take is an amazing thing.
