SIGNAL & STEAM.
A precise new home for a personal idea. The cup stays. The steam keeps its swept-back character. Everything around it becomes clearer, bolder, and easier to use.
A FAMILIAR MARK. A FIRMER HAND.
Three rising ribbons recall the original steam and the founder’s father’s swept-back hair. A solid cup replaces the sketch outline. The icon works in one ink; the wordmark carries the full name.
THE COFFEE GETS THE BIG TYPE.
Designed for Ryan’s existing white bags: one label per bag, two reusable header stocks. Orange for UCC, charcoal for Based Beans. The supplier preprints the header; the thermal printer adds only the black coffee details below. No second sticker to align.
90 × 130mm proposed label, with separate preprint and thermal artwork at the same dimensions. These are layout proofs with mock 250g weights and unselected coffees. Actual bag fit, stock dimensions and printer calibration still need a physical check.
AI-generated packaging visualization. The flat label masters above are authoritative for text and layout; the bags and photograph are a concept.
RECOGNIZABLE IN EVERY FORMAT.
