Fringe Coffee Co.

Fringe Coffee Co. is a social enterprise company with a mission to help empower people on the fringes of society through coffee. We worked together to create a logo that would represent their mission and growing business.

"No Swedish Design"

The Fringe team was tired of the typical coffee shop trend of clean, modern Swedish design. They wanted something creative, future-seeking, and alternative. 

Brand Identity

Logo

Main Fringe Logo with Color Variations

The Fringe team wanted a logo that was bold, edgy, and “a little crazy.” A logo that could grow with them and suggested bringing folks on the fringes into a safe environment of growth and creativity.

Alternative Logo Marks – “The Freaky E”

"We Need The Freaky E."

During development, the Fringe team shared that they needed a “freaky E,” the term they’d coined for a style of ‘E’ made up of three lines stacked upon one another.

Logo + Identity

The Fringe team wanted a logo that was creative, and a little grungy. Initially, I kept the concepts clean to focus on the structure, adding the distressed treatment in later, resulting in a recognizable logotype.

Packaging

In need of a flexible packaging solution, we decided on a bag design with interchangeable labels. Icons and colors were used to differentiate between the blends and help to identify the difference when displayed together.
