Deluxioso — Cheesecake & Colombian Coffee

Self-Initiated Rebrand Project

Overview

Deluxioso is my vision for a fictional dessert café that transforms the simple joy of coffee and cheesecake into a refined ritual. Rooted in the rich heritage of Colombian coffee and the indulgent craft of artisanal desserts, this self-initiated project explores how visual identity can weave mood, emotion, and desire into every sip and bite. Beyond designing a logo, I sought to create a brand that feels premium yet personal—grounded in culture, yet poised to captivate a global audience with quiet luxury.

The Concept

Deluxioso thrives where artisanal indulgence meets cultural storytelling. It’s more than a café—it’s a curated escape where customers pause to savor flavor, design, and atmosphere. The identity balances:

- Sophistication: Elegant without coldness.

- Flavor: Expressed through tactile, sensory forms.

- Minimalism: Rich with emotional resonance, not excess.
‍

This concept invites a deeper connection, turning everyday moments into experiences that linger.

Strategy & Positioning

- Product: Premium cheesecake paired with Colombian specialty coffee.

- Style: Elegant, minimal, and textural, reflecting café warmth.

- Personality: Refined, expressive, and warmly inviting.

- Voice: Latin-rooted with a globally fluent rhythm.

- Why it Stands Out: It redefines coffee and dessert as a deliberate, luxurious pause.

Tone of Voice & Taglines

The brand speaks with a warm, rhythmic tone—precise yet poetic, inviting savoring over rushing.

“A taste worth slowing down for”

“Colombian coffee, quiet luxury”

“Delight by design”

“Flavor, framed”

Visual Identity

Logos: The wordmark features an elegant serif with a custom “x” swirl—evoking cheesecake swirls, coffee steam, and subtle luxury. The tagline “Cheesecake & Colombian Coffee” roots it in its essence. The DX monogram offers a sleek mark for packaging and digital use.

Typography:

- Cormorant Garamond: Bold headlines and logo elegance.

- Cormorant Italic: Expressive subheadings with flair.

- Inter: Clean, modern body copy for digital clarity.

‍

Color Palette: Inspired by café textures and indulgence:

- Creamy Cheesecake: Soft, edible white.

- Espresso Foam: Warm, luminous brown.

- Colombian Coffee: Rich, grounding depth.

- Cherry Syrup: Bold, emotional red.

- Kraft Brown: Tactile, artisanal warmth.

- Ash Gray: Quiet, editorial minimalism.
‍

Together, these hues craft a world that’s appetizing, elegant, and irresistible.

Applications

The identity shines across every touchpoint:

- Cheesecake packaging and takeaway boxes with premium finishes.

- Coffee bean bags and branded merchandise in tactile tones.

- Café interiors and mood-rich social visuals that blend design with flavor.
‍

Each element harmonizes to create a space as intentional as the treats it serves.

Creative Reflection

Deluxioso was my chance to design a feeling, not just a brand. Reflecting my belief that branding shapes emotion, I poured my passion for storytelling and design into every detail—from the logo’s swirl to the palette’s warmth. This project is a testament to my vision: creating timeless, luxurious experiences that invite people to pause and connect, a principle I aim to bring to every creative endeavor.
