Joan Escribà
Cocoa Pixels in Barcelona.
The visual identity project for Joan Escribà, an iconic artisan chocolatier based in Barcelona, was born from the desire to convey a brand that honors the essence of cacao and the honest processes behind its transformation. Aiming to communicate a balance between tradition and modernity, the proposal emphasizes the conscious use of the cacao bean as the central symbol—both conceptually and aesthetically. The identity is built on a flexible graphic system composed of modular shapes inspired by a pixelated grid, evoking the texture and form of the cacao bean. This versatility allows the brand to adapt across multiple formats and applications without losing coherence, reinforcing a strong and authentic image with international reach. The design goes beyond visual appeal—it becomes the narrator of a story rooted in traceability, sustainability, and respect for origin. Every material choice—from the use of Matérica paper and blind embossing on packaging to chemical-free water-activated tape and custom molds—supports the narrative of a craftsman deeply committed to his craft and environment. The implementation of a modular labeling system, reusable stencils, and e-commerce-optimized packaging completes a visual ecosystem that communicates not just the what, but also the how and why. In this way, the identity not only wraps the product, but also projects Joan Escribà’s values and philosophy to those who appreciate quality with conscience.
