    uniE621 Verde – Vegan Coffee & Plant Bar Brand Identity
    🌿 Verde – Vegan Coffee & Plant Bar Brand Identity Case Study Creative Thinking • Logo Design • Stationery • Packaging • Color Palette • Mockups Overview Verde is a modern vegan coffee and plant bar, offering a calming, plant-filled space where conscious consumers enjoy ethically sourced coffee and curated greenery. The brand needed a visual identity that felt fresh, grounded, and design-forward—reflecting its eco-conscious philosophy and lifestyle-driven experience. My Role I led the creative direction and was responsible for the full brand identity including: • Logo design • Color palette curation • Stationery design • Packaging elements • Concept mockups The goal was to craft a cohesive visual system that speaks to Verde’s values: sustainability, simplicity, and serenity. Concept & Creative Thinking The name Verde—meaning "green" in several languages—inspired a brand story centered on nature, growth, and balance. I approached the design with a minimal, organic style that pairs clean lines with earthy textures. The identity had to feel premium yet grounded, warm but modern. Logo Design The logo features a clean, custom wordmark with soft curvature, echoing natural forms. Paired with a subtle emblem that blends a coffee leaf with a cup silhouette, it creates an ownable mark that translates seamlessly across packaging, signage, and digital platforms. Color Palette I developed a soothing, plant-inspired palette: 🌱 Verde Green – deep and grounding 🌾 Sage & Moss – fresh, secondary tones ☁️ Cream White – minimal and clean ☕ Oat Beige – warm, neutral contrast The colors evoke calmness, wellness, and natural simplicity—perfectly aligning with the vegan and botanical essence of the brand. Stationery Design From business cards to loyalty stamps and menus, the stationery was designed with clarity and calm in mind. Clean layouts, soft colors, and thoughtful spacing give each piece a breathable, welcoming feel. Packaging Design I created eco-friendly packaging mockups for coffee cups, bags, and takeaway boxes. Each design follows a minimal system with strong logo placement, brand colors, and organic visual accents to enhance the unboxing experience while staying true to Verde’s sustainability values. Mockups & Visual System To visualize the brand in real-world scenarios, I designed mockups for storefront signage, apparel, packaging, and social media posts. This helped bring the brand personality to life and ensures a consistent, high-impact experience across every touchpoint. Final Result Verde’s brand identity is calm, modern, and meaningful—positioned to attract eco-conscious coffee lovers and plant enthusiasts alike. The system is flexible, clean, and designed to evolve as the brand grows. logo branding graphicdesigner branddesign stationarydesign stationarydesign packagingdesign
