Café Memo

Further info

The challenge was to develop a coffee brand that reflected the suburban artistic identity of São Paulo, conveying contemporary and accessible aspects with practical and low-cost solutions. We appropriated the marginal language both in the name and in the graphic solution. "Memo," while being Brazilian slang for "very, really" (mesmo) - an adjective representing origin, can also be remembered as a fragment of memory, which is explored in the photographic guidelines. At the same time, we embraced stencil as a device of suburban expression, reducing practical material costs and resulting in an authentic language. Memo is a brand that was born in the outskirts and aims to offer quality coffee at affordable prices. The name reflects this desire in a colloquial manner. The graphic language, although contemporary, appropriates movements of marginal expression to position itself as a brand that not only communicates with this audience but also understands their needs. The project strives to be simple, objective, and above all, authentic.
