Afternoon Coffee & Swallowtail Bodega

Afternoon Coffee & Swallowtail Bodega

Afternoon Coffee & Swallowtail Bodega is a unique hybrid space — a cozy café and a local farm store — coexisting in a small footprint with big community appeal. The branding challenge was to create a visual identity system that could flex: standing strong individually for each concept while remaining cohesive as a single experience.


The Challenge

  • Design a brand system that clearly identifies both Afternoon Coffee and Swallowtail Bodega

  • Ensure the two logos feel like family — visually related but distinct in purpose

  • Balance playfulness and approachability with professionalism and clarity

  • Build a toolkit versatile enough for packaging, signage, merchandise, and social media


A dual-logo strategy was developed to represent the two intertwined yet distinct offerings within the same space. This allowed each entity to shine on its own when needed, while maintaining a unified voice and aesthetic across all touchpoints.
