Crafting an Iconic Identity for an Espresso Machine Repair Service
Coffeesmith: Coffeesmith faced the challenge of building a brand that conveyed expertise and reliability in espresso machine repair. We rebuilt the brand and the customer-facing system to match where the company was actually going.
Live since 2016
Establishing a Strong and Visible Mobile Brand
Coffeesmith operates in food & beverage — a category that demands its own kind of attention from the brand and the buyer journey both. The work that got the company this far had earned its market share. The brand and digital surface area weren’t carrying the weight at the same level the rest of the operation was.
Coffeesmith faced the challenge of building a brand that conveyed expertise and reliability in espresso machine repair. As a mobile service, they needed a logo and vehicle wrap that would be easily recognizable and communicate their professionalism and commitment to quality service. The goal was to create a brand identity that would enhance their authority and visibility in the Orange region.
The brief was a system rebuild — the kind of work captured in our master frame: Developing a Professional and Recognizable Brand Identity. Brand strategy, identity refresh, customer-facing experience design, and the post-launch measurement framework that lets the in-house team extend the work without us in the room.
Developing a Professional and Recognizable Brand Identity
Logo Design
Craftsmanship and Expertise Commence Studio designed a logo that captures the essence of Coffeesmith’s craftsmanship and expertise in espresso machine repair.
Vehicle Wrap Design
Mobile Visibility To maximize Coffeesmith’s visibility as a mobile service, we designed a vehicle wrap that is both eye-catching and informative.
A scalable visual system that holds across every SKU.
Modular design system handling per-product personality without breaking the family identity. Sixteen products, one shelf presence.
A storefront engineered to earn the premium.
Custom Shopify storefront that gives the category-specific story (sourcing, ingredients, sustainability) first-class IA — not a footer link.
Trade-buyer collateral that opens distribution.
Sell sheets, line cards, and retail merchandising built on the same modular system as the consumer-facing brand. National distributors had something to act on.
Commence Studio did an incredible job with our branding.
