Mali Bakes
2020
Bold, bright and playful, Mali Bakes pays homage to the 1950s street corner Milk Bar. But the 'homemade' aesthetic is given a modern flavour. Mali Bakes sought an identity that was informed by Melbourne’s fading facades but it needed to stand out from the norm, challenging common brands of today.
Mali - the Thai word for Jasmine - informed much of the identity and was at the forefront of the brand development. The flower motif is present in the bold colourful compositions as a deliberate tie to the visual language of the founders' Thai heritage.
