About Quix Primær Funktion: Brandidentitet
Quix er en brandidentitet til selvbetjeningsautomater, der tilbyder varme og kolde drikke samt snacks. Identiteten anvender farver, teksturer og former hentet fra italiensk kultur og hylder den italienske designs guldalder. En let vintage-appel minder om Dolce Vita-årene og fremkalder italiensk kaffekultur. Kaffekopper og plakater trykkes i CMYK-farver med offsetteknologi, mens automaterne brandes med trykte folier. Designet forvandler en hurtig kaffepause til en rolig visuel oplevelse.

- Production Technology
- Coffee cups and posters were printed using CMYK colour and offset technology. Vending machines are branded using printed foils.
- Design Challenge
- Challenges faced included a market oversaturated with coffee products, quality not being a competitive advantage in vending machine products, limited physical thus limited space to communicate brand experience. Due to the low price point, brand packaging and collaterals needed to be designed keeping in mind a low budget and the design needed to appeal to a wide range of consumers – from university students (Gen Z) to blue-collar workers (Boomer) and office staff (Millennials).
- Research
- Workshops were conducted to set up a brand strategy. The objective was to define brand essence and philosophy, expected brand experience, brand personality and character definition, brand target groups, and market positioning. The personality defined – Quix is an elegant, clever friend and assistant inspired by Italian aesthetics. Thorough research of the history of Italian graphic design was conducted before concept development. Design prototyping tested the identity at every brand touchpoint.
- Inspiration
- Italians are unparalleled at coffee drinking and nurturing coffee culture. Quix was inspired by the juxtaposition of this languid Italian coffee culture and grabbing a quick cup of coffee. The design weaves Italian values into its visual identity with colors and textures that pay homage to the golden age of Italian design. Its vintage appeal evokes Italian charm with the aroma of premium coffee - because despite the fast pace, find time to take a break and enjoy life. Dolce vita.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2020 and finished in August 2020 in Rijeka, Croatia.
- Operation Flow
- Quix are quality self-service vending machines that provide hot and cold drinks and snack meals, with guaranteed product quality, in an attractive form. As the consumer approaches to purchase a cup of coffee, Quix immediately creates a unique visual experience in the space where the vending machine is installed. Unlike typical vending machines, the design is an integral part of the experience and immediately transports the consumer to a different time and place evoking Italian coffee culture.
