The drops of Dutch coffee are gathered into a big drop as a tree silhouette.
Reddish brown color due to existed an interior color, and bluish green color as a point color have been selected.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Googling was a method to find out general idea regarding key words for logo design such as life, Dutch coffee, and trees. And almost ideas were from my daily scenery while walking afternoon.
CHALLENGE: Field consideration was needed while the project. For example, real options for electronic lines for the outdoor sign, the light bulbs' type inside the sign for the night should be considered contrary to the only graphic design. And printing options was also challenging because the logo color is special and rare, so that cannot be found in an existing palette to make up. The challenges has been solved by communication with the makers.
