Choosing a brand for your bakery

Color

Build around warm, edible hues: crust browns, butter yellows, berry reds or pistachio greens. Pair one appetising mid-tone with a deep chocolate or espresso for text, and keep backgrounds creamy rather than stark white so photos of your bakes glow.

Typography

Rounded or chunky serifs signal handmade and homely; a clean sans keeps menus and prices legible. Retro display faces work beautifully on boxes, bags and window lettering.

Common mistake

Cold blues and greys can read clinical next to food. If you love blue, keep it as a small accent rather than the main color.

Your bakery brand checklist

  • One primary color, used everywhere. Website, signage, social and packaging should all lead with it.
  • Text that passes WCAG AA (4.5:1). Use the text-safe shade of your brand color for links and small text.
  • A logo that works in one color. You’ll need it for stamps, embroidery, vinyl and fax-quality prints.
  • Two fonts, no more. One with personality for headings, one built for reading.
  • A written brand guide. Exact color codes and fonts, shared with anyone who designs for you.
