The colors were chosen to communicate health and vitality while the typography was chosen to keep things simple and relateable. The First, Coffee logo design, featuring a hot cup of coffee with a check mark on it, tells the customer that they can go ahead and check that first important task off their to-do list. It is simple, relateable, and lends itself toward being featured on all kinds of future merchandise.
