AuroraBrews

Aurora Brews is a coffee brand built around clarity and restraint. Instead of relying on colour to stand out, the identity uses a strict black and white system to create contrast, consistency, and immediate recognition across every touchpoin

THE SHELF IS THE SALESPERSON

The brand was designed with physical retail in mind. Coffee products often compete in dense environments, so the packaging needed to communicate quickly and clearly.

We focused on: High-contrast colour blocking for visibility at distance A bold wordmark that remains legible across sizes Minimal clutter so key information is easy to scan

The result is packaging that doesn’t rely on explanation—it grabs attention and holds it.

Category Research & Illustration Direction

01
Category Research & Illustration Direction
Audited the craft beer shelf — London, UK-wide, international. Found a gap: almost every premium craft brewery was using the same bold geometric style. We went the other direction: detailed, narrative, illustration-led. A world, not just a logo.
02
Brand Identity & Colour World
Anchored in the aurora phenomenon — natural beauty, rare, worthy of attention. Deep forest greens and golds against dark backgrounds. Typography chosen to age well and to work at label scale without losing character.
03
Packaging Design & Illustration
Three SKUs, three stories, one coherent world. Each label tells a different chapter of the aurora story. Illustrative, textured, print-ready — supplied to spec for litho printing with no reprints required.
04
Extensions: Signage & Social
Taproom signage, wholesale catalogue and social templates all built within the same design system. Full guidelines provided so the client can brief any local printer independently with no ongoing dependency.

COLOUR, TYPE AND CRAFT

The visual system combines a dark green base with sharp accents of yellow and orange. This creates a recognisable palette that works across both print and digital.
