Lumen collateral laid out flat: menu, paper carrier bag, cold brew cartons and business cards

Problem

Lumen had exceptional beans but a forgettable presence. Their old mark blended into a crowded specialty-coffee market, and packaging failed to communicate the care behind each roast. Customers couldn’t tell the single-origin line apart from the blends on the shelf, hurting both recognition and repeat sales.

Solution

We built a warm, minimalist identity anchored by a custom wordmark and a sunrise-inspired mark that scales cleanly from cup to storefront signage. A flexible color-coded system distinguishes each roast, while tactile, uncoated packaging signals quality and sustainability at a glance.

Result

The refreshed identity gave Lumen a confident shelf presence that finally matched the quality inside the bag. Customers could tell the single-origin line from the blends at a glance, and the roaster reported stronger recognition and steadier repeat orders within the first season. The flexible system scaled effortlessly from cups to storefront signage, giving Lumen a cohesive look across every touchpoint without slowing down new product launches.
