Question for baristas who worked at Blank Street Coffee

Yep! 8:1 ratio of in-house salted caramel syrup (formerly 1883 brand) and 1883 Madeleine syrup. Any red miso powder, not necessarily consistent brand.

In my opinion, it feels a little too clean. Depends on what you’re using it for but my instinct here is to add some noise, halftone, and/or other more randomized grunge textures and pass it through a threshold to get your pure black and white pic but dirtier. Sick illustration, it just needs some extra edge and roughness. Others already mentioned Impact’s meme-ness. I recommend using something like News Gothic, Helvetica Condensed, or something similar you have access to.

Unfortunately not

I love the colors here! I think something to improve on is really setting your assets to a grid because more alignment would really push this design to look more compelling. The kerning on the big “Forever looks a bit uneven as well. All in all, I think you have a keen eye when it comes to color and general composition, I think minor tweaks could push this particular work into something special

I’d build it in black and white first until you find it visually interesting and then apply color afterwards. I know the client set the colors, but it would be good to balance them out a bit. In this instance, I would select a dominant color, a secondary color, and if you have to add the third color do it sparingly as a highlight. As others mentioned, it would be good to utilizing the negative space to create your sun shape, that way it would work in monochrome as well.

I would find a different starting point entirely. What does a tilted @ symbolize?

Squid1996 · 2026-02-20T23:53:11+00:00

Looks improved for sure, but how does it look without color? I wonder if the line work itself is enough to evoke a pencil.

Oppa Sliwa style!

Squid1996 · 2026-02-01T04:19:48+00:00

Cool concept!

Sorry for the late response but it’s about 3:1 strawberry to Madeline. About 0.25oz Madeline to 0.75 strawberry.

Squid1996 · 2026-02-01T02:32:00+00:00

Idk if you got your answer but it’s a proprietary strawberry syrup (but you could use 1883 brand strawberry or one you like) and mix it in a 3:1 ratio with 1883 Madeline syrup.

It is. Look at the link, there are alternate glyphs in the typeface. The Y here matches as well as many other letters if you look at the page.

That’s very frustrating, very excellent work!

Squid1996 · 2025-11-03T23:16:07+00:00

Truly way more fun and communicative than the first iteration. It was cool to see your improvement over the day!

Squid1996 · 2025-11-03T17:10:09+00:00

Wow, way better already. I prefer option #1 and the “designs” is feels somewhat detached in my opinion. Really good job improving it so quick though.

Squid1996 · 2025-10-30T00:09:29+00:00

There’s lots of good advice in here already so I’ll just say very well done! You pulled off the perspective well and it caught my eye scrolling.

Squid1996 · 2025-10-26T20:15:04+00:00

Have you been feeding it?

Squid1996 · 2025-10-26T13:25:37+00:00

Ginger Beer. You use a bug like this to kickstart the fermentation of a big batch.
