Chryssie and Angie approached us to brand their café, though we didn’t initially realise just how much history lived in the shopfront. The space had operated as a butcher for over a century, with only two owners in that time—both, coincidentally, named Frank. The name Two Franks became the perfect tribute to the site’s past and a nod to its place in the community.

Taking cues from the shop’s legacy, the local neighbourhood, and the sisters’ warm, approachable offering, we set out to create a brand that evoked the feel of an old-school deli or corner store.

The identity centres on a rich olive green—drawn from the olive trees in the sisters’ garden—and a bold, imperfect typeface that echoes traditional hand-painted signage. The result feels both nostalgic and distinctly local.
