Hard Rock Cafe Sydney

Sunday challenge 105 - Logo

THE LOGO
The now-famous logo was actually created by celebrity artist Alan Aldridge, who's best known for his work with The Beatles. It was based on Isaac's idea to model it after the simple design of Chevrolet's car hood ornament. Originally, they were going to make the colors red, white and blue, but decided that would be too much "Americana." Good move, guys. We like it just the way it is...

2024 - The Hard Rock cafe has reopened its doors in Sydney after four years at an expansive new Darling Harbour location.

History
After it closed in 2007, Mr Huntly and business partner David Rich bought the Australian franchise rights from the chain's US parent company. In December 2011, they relaunched the cafe at a new 500-seater location in Darling Harbour. At the grand reopening, Mr Huntly announced the brand had ''staying power''...

(2013 - The Hard Rock Cafes in Sydney and Surfers Paradise were placed in voluntary receivership)

2013 - New owner Mr Beaumont...

The first Hard Rock Café in Australia opened in Crown Street, Darlinghurst and traded until 2007. A new café opened in 2011 in the tourist hub of Darling Harbour. A Surfers Paradise Hard Rock opened in 1996. As of mid-2020, both were still going.
