Project Information
Background and Challenge
The Green Olive is a long-standing café in Bath Lane, a vibrant laneway precinct in the heart of Bendigo. Established in 1981, it’s a well-loved local institution. Despite its popularity, the brand had become dated and no longer reflected the café’s energy or its stylish, design-conscious surroundings. The challenge was to modernise the identity while respecting its history.
Solution
The rebrand balanced heritage with a fresh approach and the identity aligned with the laneway’s character. The logotype is refined and confident with a unique but subtle embedded ‘olive’ concept, complemented with a bold, natural colour palette. A cohesive visual system was rolled out across signage, menus, and packaging.
Results
The Green Olive is now positioned as a modern, standout café while staying true to its roots. The café has a stronger presence within the Bath Lane precinct and an increased appeal to new and existing customers. The brand is now more consistent and recognisable across all touchpoints.
