THE INSPIRED IDENTITY

Barakoko draws inspiration from Filipino jeepney signages and traditional calligraphy influenced by Baybayin, an ancient Filipino script known for its fluid, curved forms and rhythmic balance.

The name plays on “Barako”; a bold, aromatic Liberica coffee known for its strength, combined with “koko". Barakoko reflects a brand that is strong, vibrant, and culturally rooted with a single sip that emanates culture of the Philippines.

THE CANS DESIGNS

It began as a single neon green can with bold calligraphy and one flavor. As the project evolved, I expanded it into a three-flavor line:

  • Barakoko Coconut
  • Barakoko Ube
  • Barakoko Pure Coffee

Each can has its own color and flavor identity while maintaining a cohesive look through consistent typography and design.
