Buds & Beans

Branding & Identity
for Buds & Beans, Albuquerque, NM
2022

Overview

After consulting with me about whether or not their current logo effectively communicated their mission and vision, Buds and Beans, a LGBTQ veteran-owned cafe and communtiy space in Albuqerque, NM, asked me to provide them with a new logo and color palette.  

I worked with the manager to come up with several design approaches that would elevate their brand and provide a solid foundation for future marketing and design efforts. Ultimately, we decided on a playful logo with a slogan that solidified their messaging, “where communities meet.” The business is currently printing a decal with the new  logo for their storefront window.
