Casting Cafe Initials
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548142519755{margin-bottom: 46px !important;}”]The main components of the future visual image were identified by the Studio and the customer as – “Fashion”, “Coffee”, “Casting” and “Communication”. Combining all these features, its branding had to be original, concise and simple in presentation.
The developed logotype solution includes the brand name and “Casting Café” brand writing.
The designed logotype looks like a top view of two cups of coffee, connected, or rather “grown together” or even overlapping. Visually speaking about communication and getting closer , the sign represents “CC” monogram and refers to the familiar signs like “Chanel” and “Gucci”; as well as causes associations with sunglasses and even beautiful female shapes.'[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2311″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1548017121886{margin-top: 160px !important;margin-bottom: 140px !important;}” el_class=”cc-logo-svg”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548142674457{margin-bottom: 46px !important;}”]The “Casting Café” brand writing is carried out in a strong, contemporary font. Its capital letters “C” are decorated with cup “handles” – linking all elements of the logo with each other and revealing the brand name as an abbreviation of “Casting Café”.
On the top of it we came up with a non-standard fantasy descriptor – “Chooseteria”, meaning “selective”, that fully reveals the concept of the facility.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2323″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1548143641791{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548143098753{margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”]

Corporate Identity
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548142712212{margin-bottom: 46px !important;}”]As a result, we got a very simple, trendy, modern and even, at first glance, seemingly familiar, but at the same time – completely original and memorable logotype. Besides, it perfectly fits all necessary formats developed fo the facility – from packaging and glassware branding – to staff’s uniform.
In addition, we have provided additional opportunities to play around with the logo through different variations, such as – the presented version with the eyes inscribed in the logo – making the branding even more dynamic and providing it with a touch of self-irony.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Authors:
