Beaujolaine - wine bar design


Role: Brand Identity · Visual Direction · Content Concepts

Type: Self-Initiated Project

This project is a fictional branding exercise developed to explore how strategy, tone, and visual identity come together to shape a cohesive brand experience.

Through the creation of Beaujolaine, a neighborhood wine bar concept, I focus on building a brand from the inside out, starting with intent, atmosphere, and audience, and translating those elements into a clear and consistent identity.

The project showcases my approach to brand thinking: grounding creative decisions in strategy, storytelling, and emotional clarity.

The brand

Brand Values

Warmth

Human, familiar, inviting

Ritual

Slow evenings, returned visits, shared moments

Visual Inspiration

Simplicity

Nothing excessive, everything intentional

Character

Imperfect, Lived-in, quietly confident

Beaujolaine aims to redefine the neighborhood wine bar as a space for slow evenings, effortless conversation, and sensory connection.

The brand focuses on creating an atmosphere that invites people to pause. Where wine becomes a social ritual rather than a performance, and where warmth, intimacy, and character are felt the moment you step inside.

Beaujolaine is a wine bar rooted in intimacy, ritual, and quiet confidence.

It is not designed to impress loudly, but to feel familiar, inviting, and lived-in.

The brand draws inspiration from European wine culture , where wine is less about expertise and more about presence. It values warmth over spectacle, depth over trend, and atmosphere over excess.

At its core, Beaujolaine is about creating a place people return to.

A bar that becomes part of an evening routine, a meeting point, a small ritual woven into everyday life.

The objective

Evenings that unfold slowly

Logo

Menu Design

Menu concept focusing on clarity, typographic hierarchy, and tone of voice—balancing approachable wine descriptions with a warm, understated visual system.

Social media Content

Colour Palette

A warm, wine-inspired palette that reflects candlelit evenings, aged wood, deep reds, and quiet intimacy.

Primary logotype inspired by handwritten wine labels and personal notes: intimate, imperfect, and expressive.

The script style reinforces the brand’s human, unpretentious character while subtly referencing classic French wine culture.

The monogram version (“B/J”) is designed for stamps, bottle tags, glassware, social icons, and small-scale applications.

Menu & Opening poster design

Opening Poster

Brand application exploring tone of voice, illustration, and visual hierarchy for a wine bar opening night. Designed to feel intimate, informal, and culturally rooted.

Social content designed as an extension of the physical space, capturing atmosphere, rituals, and small moments rather than polished campaigns.

A mix of typography-led posts and candid photography builds a feed that feels intimate, lived-in, and true to the brand.

Content focuses on atmosphere, rituals, and shared moments rather than promotions, mirroring the experience of being inside Beaujolaine.

The feed balances typography-led messages, product details, and candid social scenes, creating a warm, lived-in presence that feels inviting and unforced.
