Green Bridge Coffee
A logo for a local coffee roaster
The Ask
A logo for good coffee that gives back to the community.
When my good friend Joel Stenberg was setting out to found a new coffee roaster and brand in Portland, he reached out about a logo. He explained the vision that he had: a local coffee shop that gave back a portion of its profits to the local community. The method was simple, yet completely new to the world of coffee in Portland: Customers would be able to buy a cup of coffee and choose a non-profit organization to donate to.
I was thrilled to be able to help, and I worked with Joel to craft what would become their new logo. The mark itself exists in a few versions, and references the Hood River Bridge in Joel’s hometown of Hood River, Oregon. The mark is a simple and effective way to communicate the story of Green Bridge: Coffee, bridging the gap between communities and offering support for people who need it.
