In Our Element Pursuing Coffee

I had the pleasure of working with Matt from Element Coffee Co. to craft a logo that captures the unique spirit of the roasts they offer. The heart of Element is a blend of premium coffee with a playful, relaxed yet bold vibe, roasted by the nicest, funniest, and genuine guy in Ripon, WI.

The aim of this collaboration went beyond just a logo; it was about channelling Element’s ethos into a visual identity that feels profesional, illustrative, and top-quality. By using design elements that convey both symmetry and coffee elements, this logo embodies the lively character of Element Coffee Co —becoming a memorable and distinct mark in the competitive specialty coffee landscape.

Behind the Logo

  • COFFEE BRANCH

  • SYMMETRICAL

  • 4 Cherries

A coffee branch with four cherries represents the four elements —air, earth, fire, and water, with coffee itself as the unifying force. The symmetrical leaves formed from a clean circle, creating a balanced, timeless icon. Subtle references to the elements will also flow through patterns and brand details.

Built with symmetry in mind.
