Inspired by the rich cultural and architectural legacy of Cordoba, Spain, Cortoba Café’s branding is a seamless blend of history and modern aesthetics. At the heart of the visual identity is an intricate Kufic-style Arabic calligraphy design, forming a symbolic coffee mug—honoring the café’s Arabic roots while embodying the warmth of coffee culture. The brand’s color palette, meticulously crafted, draws inspiration from the Great Mosque of Cordoba, with Metallic Brown reflecting the mosque’s iconic arches and Alabaster mirroring its luminous marble interiors. Deep Lemon and rich earth tones further echo the golden hues found in Andalusian architecture, unifying past and present in a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere.

Cortoba Café’s identity extends beyond its logo, weaving historical motifs into a contemporary coffeehouse experience. Authentic Cordoban patterns, inspired by the city’s mesmerizing mosaic tilework, create a striking visual connection to Andalusia’s artistic heritage. The tagline, “A Modern-Day Awakening,” pays homage to Cordoba’s intellectual and cultural enlightenment while cleverly linking to coffee’s invigorating essence. The Roman Bridge of Cordoba, a landmark of connection and timeless grandeur, is beautifully illustrated and incorporated into the café’s branding, most notably reflected in the hot cup designs. More than just a visual identity, the branding served as the foundation for the café’s interior design, crafting a space where every detail tells a story—offering customers an immersive journey through history with every sip.
