the brief

Ciel Clair (French for “clear skies”) is a concept brunch café in the heart of Paris, set in the modern renovation of a 20th-century art gallery. Pain au chocolat on the patio with a view of the Eiffel Tower; crêpes beneath a historic interior. A spot for art lovers, locals and tourists alike.

The branding system expresses that personality with clarity and memorable graphics. It is built on three key identifiers: a monogram, a wordmark and a pictorial symbol. Each is designed to stand alone and to work in relationship with the others.
