THE BRIEF

Aló Café came to us looking to create a brand inspired by the world’s great coffee experiences. With a vision of renovating a historic house in the center of San Pedro, Monterrey, they wanted a fresh, cool coffee shop to attract local passerby.

SOLUTION

Caracter took an approach of looking at this brand as a fun, fresh space to give this historic area a cool yet authentic, warm yet sophisticated vibe. We wanted the brand to be playful, inclusive and dynamic to attract a crowd that knows good coffee and quality.

DESIGNING THE WORDMARK

We proposed different variations of wordmarks to begin with, and the client had a special interest in scripts. So we sketched out different ideas and kept polishing, until we arrived at a funky, syrupy script. This was a great base for a wordmark that could later on switch out the O for different illustrations that represent the coffee shop’s aesthetic, like its iconic flower or coffee bean.
