JAVALUX

CASE STUDY

FOOD & BEVERAGE

Striving to be the world's leader in ethical coffee growing and distributing

CHALLENGE

We have to present ethical beans, rainforest conservation, organic materials, compostable bags, energy-efficiency, carbon neutral transportation, and fair trade as one cohesive fashionable package; making it obvious to a looking eye but anonymous to a discounting eye.

OUTCOME

A strategic benevolent brand that is helping to bring an ancient commodity into the 21st century. Javalux is now prepared to attract both those looking to make a change for the better in this world but also not scare away those who just want a great cup of coffee with none of the activism.

Strategy

It quickly became obvious what truly mattered to Javalux in the discovery session. It was the idea of what problem they wanted to solve that they felt was a problem being overlooked. The idea of a coffee company being wholly ethical from the they grow the bean to the vehicles they use to transport the beans to the packaging used, etc. Once we figured that out, the rest seemed to fall into place.

Look & Feel

The visual identity of Javalux posed was a bit of a riddle. They wanted to be seen as a potential leader in ethical coffee to those whom are looking for such a company but also conventional enough to not seem to have an agenda for those not looking to change the world. Striking the delicate balance of appealing to the concerned and the indifferent coffee consumer was accomplished in separating the look of the logo vs the feel of the packaging. The logo is professional with its crisp lines and modern quality. The packaging however is a different story. The packaging for each of Javalux’s four types of beans are personalized to the heritage and region from which it came; giving importance to the wonderful people who grow and transport Javalux’s coffee.

Brand Archetype

We always say we want information but we don’t experience the world through information. We experience the world through story and feeling. Archetypes are eternal truths that help us navigate through life more easily. The concept of an archetype appears in areas relating to behavior, historical psychological theory, and literary analysis. Archetypes are instantly recognizable. They are shorthand to get to the truth of a brand.
