Brand Identity Redesign
The inspiration for the brand rethinking and redesign were the changes in modernization and integration in the company’s culture. The design of the heart could no longer be external to the brand, inspiring a partnership both internally with employees, but also with customers. An integrated union between benefits, commitment and quality of service. From the shape to the colors, the new design integrated the heart in to the B and the health cross in the T. The two words joined in the middle making the logo look like a one word, one symbol, uniting the R and B in the heart.

Brand Design
Meat n Beer is considered a flagship store selling specialty meats and beers. The inspiration for the logo came from the merging of their two flagship products. From traditional cattle heads with their pointed horns, transformed with an iconic design in a modern rustic wire frame vector, interacting with the other traditional element, the beer bottle. The union is in a positive and negative space, succinctly and elegantly into a single symbol where text and image form a single image. The typography plays and mixes an old style Industrial font with a more modern Script.

Brand Design
A brand that translates family history. Coffee, family, 7 children and Mr Tunico. These are the pillars of this story, and that is what the logo translates. The coffee design discreetly replaces the i dot; the inseparable companion hat represents Mr Tunico; the typography represents family tradition and the handcraft way of coffee production. A seal design is to identify the brand quickly when applied into various places and objects with the use of the T, initial letter of Tunico, his hat and the 7 grains around, representing the 7 children to whom he passed the legacy of his lands and crops.
