Logo Development

This was a university project and rebranding the tea brand was part of the brief. I started working on a couple of ideas and settled with 3PM. Roughly when one drinks an afternoon tea.

Initial Logo Ideas

3PM Logo Development
Went with several concepts and narrowed them further.

Finalised Logo

Settled with a serif/sans serif combination, as a nod to the traditional tea heritage and the modern day tea consumption.

Packaging Development

After much deliberation, went with a similar tea box design as I did not want to overthink the purpose of the packaging.

I chose a brownish 'earthy' box as the main compartment and a red sticker label as a contrasting element. Chose to go with a white ink print on the box as well to make the branding subtle yet present.

This being a rosehip tea, I took careful considerations with choosing the right shade of red – deciding to go with a maroon.
