RIVN — a self-initiated identity concept for a fictional coffee brand.
The study explores a confident wordmark, a forest-green and ivory palette, and a small orange accent across a coordinated set of packaging and stationery mockups. The aim is a visual identity that stays recognisable in simple everyday applications.
This image is a portfolio concept, not a client commission. The mockups illustrate a direction; they are not production packaging artwork or delivered client assets.
A little more about the inspiration behind Tindara.
I wanted the identity to have a connection to Tindari, Sicily. The Madonna di Tindari statue was the starting point for the symbol, while Sicilian decorative patterns inspired the graphics around it.
For the colors, I chose mustard yellow, deep green, and burgundy, balanced with cream. I wanted to bring some of that warmth and richness into the packaging, while keeping the different elements comfortable together.
For me, these references are what give the project its character and sense of place.
A little behind-the-scenes look at a brand identity coming together.
I'm currently working on a new identity for a coworking space in Austin, TX, with a vintage-inspired direction, warm colors, and a logo that brings a bit of nostalgia into a modern setting.
