01 / THE CHALLENGE
What needed solving
Giving Chin’s Coffee a personality of its own while retaining a recognizable connection to Chin’s and Chinlung. Bringing coffee culture into the brand’s irreverent, youthful world without slipping into familiar café territory. Turning the mascot from a graphic device into a character capable of carrying stories across the experience. Creating an identity that could travel naturally from cups and collaterals into signage, surfaces, and the physical space.
02 / THE APPROACH
How it took shape
We gave Chin’s Coffee an expressive identity with enough personality to fill the room. The mascot became a recurring character, popping up across packaging, collaterals, signage, and spatial moments with a life of its own. Bold graphics and playful applications carried the same energy throughout, turning the café into a world people could recognise before they even took the first sip.
03 / THE RESULT
What was delivered
Chin’s Coffee takes the equity of an existing universe and gives people a new way to experience it. The character-led system creates stronger recall across every touchpoint, while the spatial identity turns a coffee stop into a destination with enough personality to keep people looking, engaging, and coming back.
