The brief

Healthy, without the lecture.

Mister Cool is a fresh-fruit startup that serves juices, fruit bowls and smoothies from a mobile shop.

Healthy food usually looks either clinical or earnest. A shop on wheels has seconds to win a passer-by, so the brand had to read like a treat first - loud colour, a friendly name and one simple promise.

Fresh fruit should feel like a reward, not a resolution.

We wrote the strategy, then built the whole identity around the thing every customer walks away holding: a cup with a straw.

01 · The mark

A cup, a straw, a smile.

  1. The cupA chunky, slightly tapered outline - easy to spot from across the street.
  2. The strawA bent straw drops in and doubles as the accent on the O of COOL.
  3. The joyFill it with any fruit: the same cup holds every flavour on the menu.

Mister in a hand-drawn script, COOL in blocky Rekt Solid - a cheeky character with a serious grip.

02 · Identity system

Sunshine yellow, ice-cool blue.

Two primaries for warmth and refreshment, aqua for the splash, cream and navy to rest the eye. Rekt Solid shouts the headlines; Lato does the reading.

Pattern

Fill them all up.

The pattern is made of empty cups. Scroll, and the whole grid fills with juice, one wave at a time.

03 · The mobile shop

Joy, on wheels.

  1. Rolls inThe cart is the billboard - blue body, yellow skirt, the logo big on the side.
  2. Opens upA striped awning and a cream counter turn any corner into a juice bar.
  3. ServesCups line up in brand colours, with the day's menu on the board.

04 · Packaging

Grab it, sip it, smile.

Bottles and cups carry the straw stripe and the pattern, so every serving advertises the shop it came from.

05 · In the world

Fruit first, logo second.

Campaign images let the fruit do the selling, with the logo signing off - on screens, walls and the team's own t-shirts.
