Kofee café brand identity

A coffee shop brand that starts with one letter: the O of “kofee” is also a cup seen from above. That mark becomes the pattern, the stamp and the sticker on everything the café hands over the counter.

What we did

  • Drew the mark from the wordmark itself: the O is a cup seen from above
  • Turned the mark into a repeat pattern for cans, bags and the card back
  • Specified four colors in HEX, RGB and CMYK, so the Caramel matches on paper, cans and fabric
  • Set the system in one typeface, Space Grotesk
  • Designed the business card and letterhead, and applied the brand to cups, cans, coffee bags, a mug, a tote and posters

A café prints more than almost any small business: cups, sleeves, bags, stickers, menus, loyalty cards. A mark that works as a pattern makes every one of them easy.
