Coffee roast levels visualized as three Labrador coat colors in striking Art Deco frames, blending coffee culture with dog breed appreciation.
The story behind this design
This is a clever mashup of two passions rendered in a vintage Art Deco aesthetic. Three stacked rectangular frames, each holding a different Labrador color variety—light yellow, chocolate brown, and black—labeled as light roast, medium roast, and dark roast. The geometric border lines and sun-ray motifs behind each dog echo the golden-age design language of the 1920s-30s. The wit lies in the visual pun: Labradors come in these exact three colors, and coffee comes in these exact roast levels. The color palette is rich and intentional—cream, chocolate, and onyx against black fabric—giving it an upscale, almost vintage coffee-house sophistication. It's design that rewards a second look.
Who it's for
Coffee enthusiasts and dog lovers who appreciate clever, layered visual humor. Ideal for people who work in specialty coffee, dog breeders or Labrador breed aficionados, and anyone who sees their morning coffee as seriously as their pet. Makes a gift that lands well with creative professionals, podcast listeners, book-club members, or anyone's kitchen or home office wall who appreciates design that nods to both nostalgia and modern culture.
