The brief

Halden had outgrown the hand-drawn logo they launched with in a garage. They wanted an identity that could stretch from a 250 g bag to a café wall, without losing the warmth regulars loved.

The approach

We built the system around a single shape, the arc of a cup seen from above, and let it repeat, crop and scale. A two-colour palette keeps print costs low while the arc gives every touchpoint a family resemblance.

One shape, used with discipline, did more work than ten clever ideas.
