The Solution: Logo, Logotype, and Colour Palette

We decided to create a meaningful icon instead of a simple ampersand to connect the coffee and music in the logo design. As for the logotype, we chose a sans serif font with capital letters only, as it gives a classic feel and a timeless look.

Colour Palette: Evoking Musicality and Contrast

To build an association with music, we decided to go with black and white as the main colours to remind people of the keys of a piano. At the same time, we included peach, beige, and blue shades of colour for some contrast combinations to be made in future.

Branded Merchandise: Cups, Bags, and Aprons

We also created the coffee and cold drinks cups, as well as the takeaway bags, aprons, and special musician edition coffee cups. The aprons and coffee cups have a black and white striped design, which represents piano keys. For the cold drink cups, we designed a secondary mark in the center of which we placed the highlighted icon.
