Our Logo
PRIMARY LOGO Our primary logo is the main act in our show. Please treat it kindly. Our logo is inpired by the conventional takeaway coffee cup which holds chunky lettering at bold angles to make up the ‘Kahawa’ wordmark. The logo speaks of a vibrant company with loads of youthful energy and confidence to disrupt the norm. It is the first port of call for premise, product & business usage.
05
WORDMARK Every important person needs an assistant. So does our primary logo. The Kahawa Tungu wordmark lacks the ‘TUNGU’ text found at the bottom on the primary logo. Our wordmark is preferred for use where the brand name already appears such as social media profiles, app icons, website or one side of our business card.
06
Our Logo
ALTERNATE WORDMARK Even important people’s assistants need assistants. The alternate wordmark is used as an alternative to the wordmark. It is preferred for small-size digital use like social media icons. But use it sparingly.
Another version of the wordmark exists. Its use is restricted to holiday promotional purposes when need be.
07
MONOCHROME Use the monochrome versions of our logo where full colour cannot apply. Use the white or yellow versions of the logo on dark backgrounds or on imagery. For use on imagery, ensure the image has proper contrast. Use the black or dark brown versions of the logo on light backgrounds.

LEMON MILK
Since our brand is a funky blend of two cultures, it was only appropriate for us to base our typography on two font families : Lemon Milk & Quicksand.
