Habesh is a Slovak brand of Ethiopian coffee. We collaborated with the founder Martin, to kickstart his new brand identity.

Duration: 4 months

Service: Eshop, Brand redesign, Marketing

Old brand

Before our collaboration, the Habesh brand lacked a cohesive visual identity and was not attractive to new customers. The state of the e-shop and the visual design of the website did not correspond with the values and activities of the Habesh brand.

Research

For a quality outcome, we needed to conduct detailed research on the Habesh brand and Ethiopian culture.

Moodboards

To understand the brand and develop a better concept for the new branding, we started by creating mood boards.

Brand workshop

To better understand the functioning of the Habesh brand, we held a 4-hour workshop and went through all the visions and values ​​of the Habesh brand together.

Subtle logo update

The brand’s logo is well-known, so we decided on a partial redesign of the text element, which previously lacked distinction. The new bold typography was subsequently used as one of the brand elements.

Typography

The new brand required a change in the main communication element. For the mentioned typographic update of the logo, we used the Bonrich font. As a complementary or secondary font, we chose Roc Grotesk due to its wide range of weights.

Patterns & badges​

Once we prepared the color scheme and typography, the only thing left was to create a visual element that the brand could use across various materials, making it instantly memorable.

Brand in practice

After creating the new foundations of the brand, it didn’t just stay with the visualizations, but we started to put the new brand into practice, as the first big challenge was to redesign the packaging of the main product, namely the coffee packaging.

​​Each coffee received its own color from the newly created brand palette. Combined with the brand pattern and new typography, the coffee packaging acquired a fresh new look, which the client was very satisfied with.
