Meaning and history
In the early 50s, Evelina Overton and her husband opened a small Cheesecake Factory store in Detroit, Michigan. In 1972, the couple moved to Los Angeles and opened a wholesale bakery, where they made cheesecakes and other desserts for local restaurants. In 1978, Evelina’s son David became the owner of a restaurant in Beverly Hills, where they served salads and sandwiches, as well as 10 types of cheesecakes. In 1983, he opened a second restaurant. Since the 90s, the company has changed its menu twice a year, adding steaks, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. At the same time, it continues to expand the chain. By 1995, it became the 11th largest restaurant chain in the United States. The first establishment of the chain abroad was opened in 2012.

1978 – Today
The Cheesecake Factory logo features a stylized font that spells out the restaurant’s name. It is split between three lines and indented differently. The logo uses a combination of elegant script and bold lettering. Thanks to a classic, serif font choice, the logo looks timeless and grand. The beautiful curves, bracketed slab serifs, and pointed tops of the letters not only give it a traditional but also make the company look welcoming and appealing.
Font and Color
It is possible to see the logo done in golden as well as dark brown. Such a warm color palette conveys a sense of sophistication and indulgence, reflecting the restaurant’s focus on a diverse menu and a rich selection of desserts. The brown color can also evoke feelings of stability and approachability, reflecting the welcoming and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant.
The logo features a font similar to Westlake Regular font or Windsor font with the letters “F” and “y” slightly modified to fit the overall image and give the logo an even more elegant and sophisticated appearance. It is a bold, classic serif font with strong strokes and moderate contrast. The strokes have characteristic diagonal terminals and slightly rounded corners for a friendly touch.
