Prana Cafe, located in a listed building within a prominent town centre, needed branding and signage that reflected their sleek, modern identity while respecting the building’s historic and architectural significance. The challenge was to design contemporary signage that complemented the historic environment without compromising regulatory requirements or aesthetic harmony.

Understanding the Historical Context:
We researched the building’s architectural style and historical importance to inform a design that would integrate seamlessly with its existing features.

Crafting a Sleek Brand Identity:
A modern and sophisticated brand identity was developed, including a new logo, colour palette, and typography to reflect the cafe’s high-quality offerings and contemporary style.

Designing Context-Aware Signage:
Materials and finishes were carefully selected to complement the building’s architecture. The signage featured clean lines and subtle detailing, achieving a modern look that didn’t overpower the historic elements.

Ensuring Compliance:
Close collaboration with heritage and planning authorities ensured the signage met all regulatory requirements for listed buildings, including obtaining necessary approvals and making any required adjustments.

Harmonious Installation:
The installation was carried out with meticulous care to avoid damaging the historic structure, ensuring the signage enhanced both the cafe’s visibility and the building’s character.

The project successfully balanced sleek, contemporary branding with the historic constraints of the listed building. The signage complemented both the cafe’s identity and the building’s architectural significance, enhancing the cafe’s appeal and contributing positively to the town centre’s aesthetic.

This case highlights our ability to create innovative design solutions that respect and preserve historic contexts while delivering modern branding and functional signage.
