Lucia Dulce
Background
Lucia Dulce’s branding felt outdated, and the store design did not reflect the premium quality that Lucia Dulce is known for.
There was also a lack of brand cohesion, with inconsistencies in signage, packaging, and marketing materials. This led to a fragmented brand presence that made it difficult to establish a strong identity. Additionally, the store interiors lacked warmth and functionality, which affected the overall shopping experience.
Design Conceptualization
The new brand direction focused on simplicity, consistency, and elegance. The goal was to create a modern yet inviting aesthetic that resonated with both loyal customers and new audiences. Natural wood elements, warm lighting, and greenery were introduced to give the stores a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance.
The branding was refined to ensure consistency across all touchpoints, from the store signage to product packaging. A fresh, minimalist approach was taken for packaging, balancing premium quality with an accessible and friendly feel. The store layout was redesigned to enhance customer flow, making it easier for visitors to explore the offerings and enjoy their experience.
Results & Impact
The brand refresh has given Lucia Dulce a modern and premium presence that aligns with its commitment to quality. The refined identity has strengthened brand recognition, making it more memorable in the market.
Lucia Dulce Branding Analysis (Before the Refresh)
- Storefront color scheme
- The brown, purple, and yellow color palette feels dated and does not evoke a premium bakery experience.
- Signage & Branding
- The logo signage is present but lacks emphasis due to the surrounding colors and placement.
- The store name does not stand out enough, making brand recognition weaker from a distance.
- Interior Design
- The flooring has a bold geometric pattern that may not align with a cozy, premium bakery aesthetic.
- The space lacks warmth and a clear, cohesive design direction.
- Decorations (such as the large cake mural) feel excessive and take attention away from the baked goods.
- Black pendant lights are a nice contrast but would work better in a more modern setting.
- Cake Box Design:
- The brown kraft-paper look is great for an eco-friendly feel, but the design lacks a premium appeal.
- The typography is a bit outdated and could use a modernized font with better hierarchy.
