Sample: A Fresh Brand for a Neighbourhood Café

How we'd give a much-loved local café a warm, consistent look, from the logo and menu boards to cups and social posts.

Sample graphic design case study: it shows how we approach this service and will be replaced with real client work as it’s added.

What we made
The challenge

Where this project started

A busy neighbourhood café has loyal regulars but no real brand. Its logo was made in a hurry years ago, the menu boards are handwritten in different styles, and its social posts look different every week. New customers walking past can’t tell what makes it special.

The idea

The thinking behind the work

Build the brand around the café’s best moment: the first warm sip of the morning. A rounded, friendly logo, a palette of coffee browns and soft cream, and simple illustrated icons that work on everything from cups to window signs.

What we made

The finished work, up close

A new logo with a simplified version for small spaces, a colour palette and font guide, menu board designs, cup sleeves and stickers, loyalty cards, business cards and a set of social post templates the team can update themselves.

Results

The results

This sample graphic design case study shows how we approach a brand like this. On a real project, we’d look at things like repeat visits and how often people share the café online. Real results will appear here once this sample is replaced with one of Michael’s own projects.
