Industry: Bakery & Food
Scope: Logo Redesign, Full Rebranding, Custom Packaging Design (Takeout Bags & Boxes)
Summer Sweets is a retro-inspired baked goods brand that brings a modern twist to classic indulgence. Centered around cozy nostalgia and feel-good moments, the brand blends watercolor pastry illustrations with a warm palette of sunset pink and yellow. With a focus on handcrafted cakes and cookies, Summer Sweets offers not just treats, but little bites of joy wrapped in retro charm and modern simplicity.
We led the redesign of the Summer Sweets logo, creating a sun-shaped whisk mark that immediately signals warmth, comfort, and homemade goodness. The playful yet clean typography completes the retro-inspired visual story, making the brand recognizable and emotionally resonant.
To support the new brand identity, we designed custom takeout packaging including bags and boxes that extended the nostalgic summer vibe beyond the storefront. Each element, from the soft textures to illustrated details, was created to leave customers smiling before they even take a bite.
Our goal was to bring the heart of Summer Sweets to life through visuals, capturing its comforting charm and making every customer touchpoint feel like a sun-kissed memory.
We crafted a visual identity that evokes dreamy summer afternoons and cozy bakery visits. The branding balances retro charm with modern softness using warm hues, watercolor textures, and custom illustrations. Every visual element was carefully chosen to create a comforting yet elevated feel.
We explored vintage baking ads, 70s color palettes, and nostalgic print patterns to inform our creative direction. This helped us shape a brand that felt familiar, joyful, and emotionally connected to its audience.
This full rebrand, including logo design, visual direction, and packaging was completed in under 3 weeks, allowing the bakery to quickly transition into its new identity and begin using its updated materials for in-store and delivery experiences.
To complete the rebrand, we designed a series of custom print materials that make every order feel special—even before the first bite or sip.
Takeout Bags: Illustrated with subtle summer motifs and the brand’s signature colors, the bags offer a cheerful, memorable experience for customers on the go.
Coffee Bags: Designed with a soft, retro flair and labeled with playful type, they give off a handcrafted, small-batch energy that aligns with the bakery’s charm.
Cups: Featuring the sun-whisk icon and soft gradients, the cups feel like mini mood boosters—designed to brighten morning coffee runs and cozy cookie pairings.
