Ethiopian coffee brands often repeat the same kind of branding, color palette and imagery (blacks, browns, and lions). As brand designer for Bunnago, the challenge was to avoid cliché design, while reflecting Ethiopian culture, society, and tradition in a fun way.

Bunnago is a coffee shop specializing in takeaway Ethiopian coffee. The logo features a jebena, the pottery traditionally used in Ethiopia to serve coffee. “Buna” means “coffee” in Amharic, combined with the word, “go”.
