Austin Coffee Field Day: Event Branding & Merch Design
Austin Coffee Field Day, hosted by the Austin Coffee Collective at The Long Time, was mre than just an industry gathering—it was a playful, community-driven celebration of the people behind the city’s coffee culture. AUC helped bring the day’s spirit to life through vibrant visuals across posters, t-shirts, bandanas, and patches—designed to both unify participants and give attendees something memorable to take home. With events like café-versus-café kickball, egg tosses, sack races, and tug-of-war, the Field Day captured the energy of a backyard summer classic—just with more caffeine. AUC crafted the full visual suite, from font and color systems to the cheeky copy and graphic phrasing that gave the event its signature personality.
Apparel & Merch Designs
Austin Coffee Field Day wasn’t just an event—it was a celebration of Austin’s coffee culture and the people who shape it. Our role at AUC was to visually capture that sense of camaraderie, creativity, and fun through bold, cohesive branding. From screen-printed tees for both volunteers and for sale to spectators, and different colored bandanas for each kickball team, to energetic event posters and signage, every design element was crafted to reflect the inclusive, grassroots vibe of the day. The result was an instantly recognizable look that attendees wore, shared, and remembered—contributing to a sold-out, high-energy experience that felt unmistakably local.
Behind the scenes, our scope included a custom event logo and graphic suite, print and digital posters, apparel mockups, sticker designs, and visual layout for signage and schedules. We worked closely with organizers through an iterative design process, prepping files for screen-print and coordinating with vendors for production. From the first sketch to final press-ready files, the goal was clear: build a brand that could anchor this inaugural event and grow with it year after year—and judging by the community response, that mission was accomplished.
