Malabar Coffee House
Fresh branding from the ground up
The brief
To develop a logo, branding, website and shop signage for an independent coffee shop with outlets in Sevenoaks, Riverhead and at Riverhill Gardens. The brand needed to be strong enough to compete with big name competitors in the area and deliver a local customer focused feel.
Deliverables
- Logo / Branding
- Shop front signage
- Website
The Logo Solution
The look and feel of Malabar Coffee House was based around how much care is put into the everything at Malabar. From product choice to bean selection to customer satisfaction. A flower has long been a symbol of care and so to create one from coffee beans was the perfect solution. Typefaces were selected to provide a feeling of authenticity, one of genuine care. The lettering and the bean logo has a ‘coffee-sack’ stamp like feel about it suggestive of the owners dealing direct with the growers.
Website
Following the logo, Gulp Creative went on to design, build and host the website. The earthy, organic colour way delivers the appropriate look and feel here, enforcing the carefully sourced products available with the strong orange working as both an accent colour and to deliver warmth.
Flexibility of Content Management
The site itself also includes full lists of all the drinks and food available. This, along with the rest of the content, is of course editable allowing the owners to make changes as stock is updated.
Posters too!
A neat little concept to promote the outside space at Malabar.
Table graphics
We also designed, copy-wrote, produced and fitted these brilliant table graphics allowing customers to scan a QR code to see the full menu right from their chosen table.
