THE OTHER BEANS

Elevating Coffee through Simplicity and Craft

THE OTHER BEANS

The Other Beans is a specialty coffee house that pursues something different from others. The Other Beans provides the highest quality coffee that satisfies all five senses through a light roasting technique that preserves coffee's original taste, aroma, and character. As a café that continuously studied and developed roasting services and coffee beans excellent with passion and professionalism, it has established the image of a brand that satisfies customer needs and communicates with them, providing the best coffee experience.

YNL Design deliberated on the distinctive brand identity and naming of The Other Beans amid overflowing roasting cafe brands. We expressed the sincerity and passion of The Other Beans, which proposes unparalleled methods and the best coffee beans to satisfy customer needs while being faithful to the basics, coffee beans, and roasting, in which all coffee brands should try to excel. In addition, we intended to develop a brand identity that graphically expresses the essential elements suggestive of a coffee brand while emphasizing the uniqueness of The Other Beans.

YNL Design created a simple but outstanding design by making the best of the identity concept, which is faithful to the basics, and delivering a premium café experience with the finest coffee beans. We made it stand out through simplicity and sophistication as a scalable design that can provide a consistent brand image from logo and symbol to bean packaging and sign design. The character ‘B’ embodied T.O.B, the initials of The Other Beans, and at the same time, it intended to be shown in the form of a bean. The overall coffee bean packaging exclusively used bronze and black, which look modern and sophisticated. Also, we emphasized the brand identity of a premium café, which is faithful to the basics, by using the texture of coffee beans.
