The Abbotsford Club/ Identity / Melbourne
Brand variation / type marks / graphic symbols
colour and mono / applied to bill folds, cards, advertising signing, instant print
Developed 2011 / 12 week project
Coffee Supreme has opened a new café on their factory site. With the coffee roastery only metres away from café, the coffee experience can’t get any fresher. The name of the café was an invitation to explore the types of club and their potential brand design. Melbourne is a city of clubs, clubs of all classes are dreamed up and operate with passionate members. We imagined and propositioned three types of club “a members only institutional club” like The Melbourne Club, The Savage Club, or The Athenaeum Club, ” “a sports clubs” like the MCC or Carlton Blues and “a street gang” like the Sharpies or Sharps. However the only membership requirement is a love for fine coffee. We imagined the club traveling through time and class, taking on several graphic personals – the traditional, a sports feel, and the street.
Elements of this brand development process has found their way on new apparel, signing and packaging that we have developed for Supreme over the last six months.
