The Challenge
We crafted a vibrant and inviting logo for May, a coming soon coffee bar inspired by the relaxed, tropical vibes of Tulum. The handwritten-style script in warm beige captures the laid-back, authentic spirit of the destination, while the bold, fluid strokes evoke a sense of warmth and energy. The simplicity and organic flow of the design reflect May’s commitment to providing a cozy, welcoming space where visitors can enjoy flavorful coffee amidst Tulum’s sun-soaked atmosphere. This logo embodies the perfect blend of tropical charm and modern casualness, making it instantly recognizable and memorable for coffee lovers seeking a taste of paradise.
The branding for May incorporates a sleek stripe pattern on the coffee cups, adding a sense of rhythm and visual interest that complements the relaxed, tropical vibe of Tulum. The stripes, in warm beige and red tones, evoke a sense of energy and warmth, tying seamlessly into the overall color palette. Additionally, the inclusion of delicate floral illustrations on the packaging enhances the organic, natural feel of the brand, emphasizing the connection to local flora and the tropical environment. Together, the stripe branding and flower incorporation create a cohesive, inviting aesthetic that reflects May’s fresh, laid-back atmosphere and its celebration of nature’s beauty.
