The creative brief was to design a brand identity for a
casual, lifestyle-centric cafe with a focus on surf culture. The key attributes
are to evoke a relaxed, modern, trendy, and hip space that welcomes everyone in
the community. Cool, yet slightly sophisticated, with a feeling of "come
in and stay for awhile". The feeling of an open, airy, and relaxed space
was paramount for this client. The logo results were designed based on this
story with a handwritten serif wordmark. The color palette is inspired by the
sunset, which is also depicted in the logo icon itself. The secondary graphical
element of the brand identity is a wave pattern, to pay homage to the Pacific
Ocean. For full brand book:
