This Western Bar and Grill Design is a great solution using text. The font style + wood color makes one feel like they are sitting in a Wooden Cowboy Lounge! I love the use of glyphs (the stars) to separate Bar & Grill.

This Text used in the Bee Movie advertising is very appealing to the eye. They colors remind me of animated bumble bees and they did not even need to use any picture of the bumble bees! I also like the mirrored text of the word "movie"! It has a 3D feel and is very clean!
