What it's all about

Luna Coffee is a neighborhood coffee shop in Dublin, Ireland celebrating its 4-year anniversary in November. In support of that milestone, the owner wanted to do a top to bottom rebrand: interior, new logo, colours, website, menu, products, signage, font, everything.
A new shop is opening next year, and will feature the same branding and design throughout.

how we did it

Over the course of a few months working closely together, we ended up with 2 hand-drawn logos and a complete rebrand which included colours, fonts, and applications of all of the above. I redid the shop's menu, the labels for all food products sold in shop, designed bags for pastries and goods, a new tote, and multiple cup designs both to-go and keep. The Wordpress website was redone entirely, and social media was updated to match.
The interior and exterior redesign was done in tandem with the rebrand - helping to choose colours, signage, and fittings. In spring of 2026 a new shop was opened and the branding aided in that launch, seamlessly.

Logos

The original Luna logo had been sourced off Canva and it was time for something custom. The client knew she wanted to maintain the "Luna gal" look and feel, but turn the quirk factor up by about 10. Each aspect of the logos is highly customized - from the hair down to the outfit. The cream logo is used as the primary, with the cup option as a secondary.

Brand Guide

A big part of this project was the brand guide that resulted out of the rebranding. A guide to carry the shop forward in consistency as it embarks on its next location. Colours, fonts, look and feel, pantone swatches, etc.. everything is laid out in a way that will allow the owner to expand indefinitly.

In Shop

Hand-drawn stamp of the front of the shop, new cup designs, deli paper, stickers, bakery case labels, big vinyl logo for window

Menu

The menu is redesigned to be easy to read, unobtrusive, and customizable via a seasonal specials and staff picks section. It draws together the colours for the brand in one place, and simplifies a complex set of offerings.
