Coffee / Brand identity
Daar Ben
دار بن
A contemporary coffee identity that draws on the warmth of Egyptian cafés and the visual rhythm of the Nile.
Fictional brand. The artwork is an illustrative design study; no client relationship or measured commercial outcome is claimed.
Coffee packaging, cups, a loyalty card and poster.
THE IMAGINED BRIEF
Who is it for?
The imagined audience is people who treat coffee as a small daily ritual: a morning takeaway, a quiet break or a place to meet. The brief calls for a recognizable identity that works at cup size as well as on a café poster.
THE VISUAL DIRECTION
A system with character.
A flowing line motif connects the applications. Deep green provides contrast, ivory keeps the pack readable and copper adds warmth. The bilingual name supports a local character while keeping the presentation easy to navigate.

THE EXPRESSION
A message in the brand’s voice.
An additional editorial copy direction, presented as a concept rather than an advertisement for an operating business.
Daar Ben / CAMPAIGN COPY CONCEPT
A little Cairo.
In every cup.

THE APPLICATIONS
One identity.
Several moments.
The pouch carries the fullest expression of the system. The cups reduce it to a recognizable name, palette and motif; the loyalty card makes the identity part of a repeatable café ritual.
01
Identity
A name, colour system and visual language that remain recognizable across the study.
02
Physical touchpoints
Packaging and printed materials translate the direction into tangible brand surfaces.
03
Content potential
The same visual world can guide campaign assets, editorial themes and digital presentation.
THE NEXT DESIGN QUESTIONS
What a real project would test.
- Does the identity remain readable at small sizes and in different formats?
- Do the materials, production methods and digital layouts suit the intended use?
- Does audience feedback support the message and visual direction?
These questions belong to a real production and validation phase. The study demonstrates a direction rather than a completed commercial rollout.
