About Quix 브랜드 아이덴티티

Quix는 따뜻하고 차가운 음료와 스낵을 제공하는 셀프서비스 자판기를 위한 브랜드 아이덴티티이다. 이 아이덴티티는 이탈리아 문화에서 이끌어낸 색상, 질감, 형태를 활용하여 이탈리아 디자인의 황금기에 경의를 표한다. 은은한 빈티지 감성은 돌체 비타 시대를 떠올리게 하며 이탈리아 커피 문화를 연상시킨다. 커피 컵과 포스터는 오프셋 인쇄 기법을 사용해 CMYK 컬러로 인쇄되었으며, 자판기에는 인쇄 필름으로 브랜딩이 적용되었다. 이 디자인은 짧은 커피 휴식을 차분한 시각적 경험으로 바꾸어 놓는다.

Unique Properties: Quix’s design was created by choosing colors, textures, and forms from Italian culture that pay homage to the golden age of Italian design and the giants that defined it. The design nods to the Dolce Vita years with a slightly vintage appeal that transports the consumer to a more relaxed space. This design is unique because it was able to capture the essence of Italian aesthetics and implement them on a smaller scale - vending machines.
Dimensions & Packaging: To go coffee cup small: 46x60 mm To go coffee cup big: 59x110 mm Metal coffee box: 12x18 cm
Tags: Branding, Coffee, vending machine, QSR, quick service, Italian, Italian design, Italian aesthetics
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.
