Speak Whiskey is a modern whiskey community built around conversation, culture, and shared experiences rather than sales alone. The goal of this project was to create a premium yet approachable brand identity that reflects whiskey heritage while feeling contemporary, social, and welcoming.

The visual system needed to work across digital and physical touchpoints — from email communication and social media to menus, events, and printed materials — while maintaining a strong, recognizable character.

The logo combines classic typographic inspiration with a contemporary structure. Its character reflects:

Craft and authenticity

Confidence without aggression

A conversational, welcoming tone

The logo is designed to function both as a primary brand mark and as a flexible element across digital and print formats.

The color system is inspired by whiskey itself:

Deep dark tones for depth and contrast

Warm amber hues reflecting aged whiskey

Neutral backgrounds for balance and readability

Together, the palette reinforces a premium feel while remaining versatile across applications.

A three-typeface system was developed to balance expression and clarity:

Rochester — used for accents and expressive moments, adding personality and warmth

Veneer Two — a bold, textured display font for high-impact headlines

Roboto Condensed — a clean and highly readable typeface for body text, UI, and long-form content

This combination allows the brand to shift between emotional storytelling and clear communication.

The identity system includes:

Flexible layouts with strong typographic hierarchy

Subtle textures inspired by paper, labels, and aging barrels

Minimal graphic elements that enhance rather than distract

The system is designed to scale easily as the community grows.

The brand identity was applied across multiple touchpoints:

Email communication and newsletters

Event invitations and announcements

Printed menus and tasting materials

Social media visuals

Community-focused branded assets

Each application maintains consistency while adapting to its specific context.

Speak Whiskey believes that whiskey is more than a beverage—it is a cultural language, one that transcends borders and unites people in meaningful ways. Through its bar, club, and growing international network, Speak Whiskey strives to create a lifestyle where every sip tells a story, and every gathering becomes a cherished memory.

To create a distinctive brand identity for Speak Whiskey — a community-driven whiskey brand focused on culture, storytelling, and shared experiences.
