Gestures Coffeehouse, a fictional coffee shop initiative, empowers the Deaf and hard of hearing by offering employment opportunities and promoting Sign Language. The visual identity strikes a balance between playfulness and seriousness, focusing on hand imagery to emphasize that employees use their hands to communicate but also to serve customers. Gestures Coffeehouse stands out as a unique concept, offering a fresh experience with a meaningful mission.
