Logo and brand identity design for Molo Africa, a surfing brand inspired by African energy, ocean culture, and movement.
For MoloAfrica, a vibrant surf shop on the Western Cape coastline, I developed a full brand identity that captures the soul of their surroundings — the rhythm of the ocean, the warmth of the sun, and the unforgettable hues of African sunsets. The colour palette was intentionally crafted around these natural elements: deep ocean blues for energy and motion, sun-baked oranges and golden yellows for warmth and optimism, and soft sunset gradients that reflect the calm, welcoming spirit of coastal life.
The logo, supporting graphics, and print applications — including gear tags, posters, and promotional materials — were designed to blend this warmth with a clean, modern aesthetic that feels both adventurous and distinctly local. The result is a brand identity that radiates coastal culture, invites connection, and perfectly mirrors the carefree, sun-soaked atmosphere that MoloAfrica embodies.
The project took about 6 weeks from conceptualization to full brand identity with print logos.





This project contained a complete onboarding process following meetings, presentations and moodboards to ensure we were all aligned on the expectations.
Moodboards are presentation/presentations put together containing fonts, colours, textures, images and a complete voice guidance for the brand personality. This will have an impact on the logo direction and where to start and where to focus.
A total of three concepts were worked on with precise detail and intention to ensure the client had a good idea of which way they would like to proceed for their brand voice.
The client received a full brand identity containing rules of the logo, fonts, colours and images they were to use – Including image colour treatment and the exact tone of voice for each design element to ensure all branches and team members follow the same guide rules.
All items were packaged into folders, and the client received a large PDF file containing the rules, colour codes for web and print, as well as all of the relevant guidance for anyone to adapt to their tone of voice.
This includes the logo exported in various formats for easy distribution.
