Brewed Awakening: Brand Identity

Sector: Coffee Shop / Hospitality
Style: Fresh · Coastal · Relaxed
 
Overview
Brewed Awakening is a coastal-inspired café brand built around slow living, crafted flavours, and a fresh, modern brunch culture. The identity draws from ocean landscapes, sunlit mornings, handmade ceramics, and a relaxed Mediterranean sensibility. The brand aims to feel warm, contemporary, and effortlessly inviting, elevating everyday coffee moments into a considered experience.
 
Colour & Mood

At the centre of the Brewed Awakening identity is a coastal-inspired palette built around deep Ocean Blue—a grounding, confident shade that anchors the brand across packaging and signage. It’s paired with Shore Blue, a bright and airy tone that brings freshness and open-sky clarity. Neutral shades of Clay Beige and Slaked Lime Grey introduce balance, echoing sunlit walls, sandy textures, and handcrafted ceramics. Together, they create space for the bolder elements to stand out. A pop of Sunset Yellow injects warmth and energy, inspired by golden-hour light and vibrant brunch culture. This contrast lifts the palette from calm to memorable, adding a laid-back Mediterranean brightness.
 

Together, the palette delivers:

• Freshness and clarity, rooted in coastal mornings

• Warm, inviting character that feels easy and approachable

• A balanced interplay of calm neutrals and energetic accents

• A memorable visual identity that stands out across packaging, interiors, and digital platforms

The result is a colour system that feels sunlit, modern, and refreshingly coastal—perfectly aligned with the brand’s relaxed, slow-living brunch experience.
