Onyx Tonics Brand Design
In 2016, my partner and I opened Onyx Tonics, a specialty coffee shop in downtown Burlington, Vermont. To celebrate the shop's 5th anniversary, we completely refreshed the branding and overall look-and-feel of the cafe. Inspired by the simplicity of Japanese family crests, or "monsho", we created this unique symbol, pairing stylized elements of the coffee plant with ripples in a pond, capturing both the "onyx" and "tonics" portions of our name.
