Client PHỞ 90

Year 2026

Pho90 is a Vietnamese restaurant rooted in authentic flavours, cultural heritage, and the spirit of old Saigon. CGICA reimagined the brand as a culinary time capsule, transforming the nostalgia, energy, and visual culture of old Saigon into a distinctive contemporary identity.

The refreshed system preserves Pho 90’s iconic swan while introducing vintage-inspired typography, archival imagery, postage stamps, and a rich green and cream palette that carries Vietnamese heritage across signage, menus, uniforms, and every other touchpoint.
