DESIGN NAME: Co Ba Coffee
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Packaging Design
INSPIRATION: The logo design is based on a minimalist image of Ms. Huong. We used Co Ba a Vietnamese term for the second aunt in a Vietnamese family, as our brand name to symbolize the nostalgia of family bonds, cultural and community cohesion. The brand has a strong identity reinforced through package design as the packaging incorporated colors from the Vietnamese agricultural landscape where the coffee beans are cultivated.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Co Ba Coffee is a new coffee start-up by Ms. Huong also known as Co Ba from Hoi An. Co Ba wants to introduce Vietnamese food and coffee culture to the world. Co Ba wants to highlight the identity and creativity with unique caffeinated beverages that break from French colonization coffee traditions. The goal is to introduce the authentic and unique egg coffee, part of Vietnamese culture for decades, but still very new to the rest of world's food map.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The appeal of the design is a modern packaging integrated with the bold, flavorful coffee that is meant to attract coffee drinkers on-the-go such as teenagers and young adult, who also the brand's main consumer target.
