The process of redesigning the identity for Manta, a Sydney restaurant located on the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf, began by simplifying its name from Manta Ray to simply Manta. The creative concept was inspired by the elegance and beauty of the manta ray as it moves through the ocean. Frost was introduced to owner, Tim Connell by Steve Manfredi, now the restaurant's head chef and with whom the studio had worked in the past. In addition to creating the menus, which were screen printed onto canvas, the project also involved designing invitations, business cards and stationery, wine labels, T-shirts, uniforms and the striking graphic that now graces the restaurant's exterior. For the opening, a promotional animation based on the moving form of the manta ray was created and projected onto the restaurant's rear wall.
