Benin
Benin is a brand identity created for a family-run coffee company with more than 30 years of experience. The identity supports the expansion of the coffee shop business into a franchise model. A smiling Cherub icon serves as the central symbol, referring to the Renaissance and to Italy, the homeland of premium coffee. Bright pink, blue, yellow and red tones and a texture of angelic clouds carry a cheerful mood. To-go cups and paper bags are printed on natural paper with CMYK offset, while metal tins preserve coffee quality.
