Steps of Creating the Brand Image:

  • Colours

    I opted for earthy tones like greens, browns, and beiges.


  • Fonts

    I selected fonts that are clean and approachable, avoiding overly formal or harsh typefaces.


  • Logo Design

    I used a design software like Adobe Illustrator to digitize my sketches. I also experimented with different compositions, ensuring the logo is versatile and scalable.

Understanding the Brand:

  • Target Audience - I had to identify who the consumers are (e.g. environmentally conscious consumers, coffee enthusiasts).


  • Brand Values - I emphasized organic, natural, and eco-friendly aspects.

Conceptualize Ideas:

I Sketched various concepts that convey a friendly and organic feel. I also incorporated elements like leaves, coffee beans and nature-inspired motifs.

Key points for a successful Design:

  • Simplicity - I kept the design simple and memorable.


  • Versatility - Ensured the logo works well in colour and black-and-white formats.
