Logo Concept
Sixth Engine is a contemporary American bar and restaurant located in one of DC’s oldest fi rehouses. Our logomark combines our station number with a fl ame to create an iconic symbol representing not only our name but also how Sixth Engine is known for its cuisine. The type is set in Gotham, a sans serif that was inspired by the architectural signage prevalent in New York during the mid-twentieth century. Together, the typography and mark represent Americana, showcasing Sixth Engine as a restaurant that stands by its call to duty: A passion to deliver delicious food in a historic setting that honors our past and present.
