01 — The Shift From quiet to confident · Beverage-first

Coffee is the heritage.
Beverages are the future.

Blenz started with coffee. Thirty years later, we're showing up for every drink — matcha, cold brew, blue lattes, brizas, chillos, and whatever comes next. Same roots. New visual energy. No longer simply "coffee-first"; this brand refresh reflects our bold direction. We are old friends with a new style. A flexible store that shifts throughout the day. Coffee in the morning, variety at night. Be yourself at Blenz.

We are breaking with formality. BLENZ is now blenz. Scaled back, down to earth. We are a handshake and a hug, not a contract and a signature. More "come hang with us", less "come do your homework here". Less "grab and go coffee" and more "what are you doing after work?" vibe.

Built to be held. Crafted to be photographed. Designed to feed your soul. Equipped to hit what you crave. Wake up with a latte. Energize mid-day with a chillo. Hang out late at night with a briza. Every craving, designed and crafted for you. By you. Be you.

Was — 1992 to 2026

Polite. Quiet. A little beige.

Honey-yellow honesty. Frutiger uppercase. Rose-windmill icon. Read as warm but a little tired. Built to whisper "established," not to make anyone smile.

  • Muted Pantone 1215 honey
  • Watercolour mascot, used rarely
  • "Coffee" as the only category
Is — 2026 onward

Loud. Lowercase. Yours.

A bolder yellow that pops on a phone screen. A lowercase wordmark that feels like a friend, not a sign. A flexible cup colour system. A mascot you actually want on your jacket.

02 — The New Look The look · The feel · The direction

Real drinks. Real
hands. Real light.

No stock. No overhead beige flatlays. Real moments, golden hour, candid — slightly imperfect. This is how blenz looks and feels now.

04 — The Space Interior · Layout · Designed to hang

The room you walk into.
Not just the drink you order.

Confirmed interior direction — yellow, navy, wood, and the b. in the room. People in the frame. blenz on the cups, the aprons, the wall. This is what landlords and franchise partners walk into.

05 — The Colours Yellow always wins · Categories + graphic system

Yellow is the brand.
Everything else supports.

A warmer, brighter yellow takes over from honey-Pantone 1215. Navy anchors. Rust accents. Three category colours — matcha, ice, berry — earn their place when the occasion calls for them, whether in-person or online.

06 — The Voice of b. Four principles · How we show up

A friend you trust to
hit that craving you need.

Blenz isn't trying to be cool. It's trying to be the spot you actually go to. The four principles below are how we behave on a cup, in a caption, on a sign, and at the till.

01

Warm, not cold

A regular's "good morning/good afternoon/good evening," not a server's script. We use names. We ask the small questions.

02

Bold, not loud

Confident colour and type. No exclamation marks. The drink is the headline; the welcome is the wow.

03

Local, not regional

Heritage. Roots. History. Subtlety honors our roots, even when the brand travels to Toronto, Singapore, Dubai.

04

Made, not manufactured

Real ingredients. Real latte art. Real people behind the bar. Visibly human, deliberately handmade.

07 — Limited Drops Seasonal · Specials · Collect them all

A new cup every season. Always blenz.

Seasonal cup characters that celebrate our roots. The wordmark stays fixed. The illustration below it changes. One cup becomes the must-have of the season.

Limited drops Limited. Every season. Wildlife Roots · Cup art

The wordmark,
out in the world.

Paper, fabric, napkin, tote, sticker card — one identity across every touchpoint. Photographable from across the room.

10 — The Experience Culture · Welcome · How we show up

We do drinks
different.

The new blenz culture — still fun, still look-forward. Four principles for every guest, landlord, and partner.

01

We are not distant and transactional

A regular's welcome, not a script. Names, small questions, presence.

02

We do drinks different

Every craving designed and crafted — coffee in the morning, variety at night.

03

Drink architects, not baristas

Craft behind the bar. Real latte art. Real people. Made, not manufactured.

04

Our welcome is our wow

The drink is the headline. The welcome is the moment they remember.
