Creative Process
Our creative process is a collaborative journey in which we work closely with our clients to understand their vision and bring it to life.
The first step of this process was defining the brand's personality as one that embraces diversity, vibrancy, and fearlessly expresses individuality. To position the place not just as an ordinary coffee shop, but as a center of activities, we named it HipHub.

H&I focused on designing a custom typographic style that evoked the nostalgia of vintage computers while infusing a modern aesthetic vibe.
The handcrafted font, carefully recreated from the founders' own handwriting, added a unique and personal element to Hiphub's brand identity. The typographic style became the highlight of the brand, reflecting the human touch and individuality that Hiphub values.
To enhance the brand's youthful and engaging persona, H&I developed the Lucky Mascot, inspired by the fortunate four-leaf clover and crafted in black and white.
Each variant of the mascot represents a distinct personality. Lucky Black exuded a calm and composed spirit, embodying resilience in the face of challenges. On the other hand, Lucky White radiated a cheerful and friendly demeanor, promoting a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.
The combination of all these elements opened up new possibilities for Hiphub to develop merchandise and furthermore enhance its brand recognition.
