A Christmas gift for her sister.
Sofie had just launched her mobile bar in November 2025, with a logo she'd made herself in Canva. Her sister Stephany (from Casa de Luna) wanted to gift her a real brand for Christmas, and she knew exactly the feeling she was after.

So I kept the papel picado, but turned it into one scalloped badge with a folk-art heart and flower inside, simple enough to hold up on a sticker. I sent four directions that night. Stephany picked the fourth.

Pretty, folky, and ready to pour.
A flowy script for "La Barra" on top of a big, chunky "BONITA," with a scalloped folk-art badge (a heart, a flower, and little leaves) standing in for the O. That badge works on its own too, so it ended up on everything.

The primary logo





Two colors. That's it, and that's the point.
Drop it in, done.
Along with the logo files, I gave her her profile photo and highlight covers, already sized and ready to upload, in both colorways.

Cricut and all.
Everything printed in these photos, Sofie made herself from the brand files: the menus, the signs, the cup toppers, the stickers, even her business cards, made on her own Cricut. That's the point of a good identity.

Since then she's bartended weddings, quinceañeras, graduations, birthdays, and even a brand launch for Quay in Irvine. The badge is on every cup.
And yes, full circle: in April 2026 she bartended Parent Night at her sister's school, Casa de Luna, with both brands on the bar.

Then she built her own bar from scratch: all white, with the badge framed on top and a sticker on every cup.

This summer she was a guest on @lilfruity.co's cocktail series, twice: a Strawberry Paloma in July and a Raspberry Lychee Sour in August. Every episode ends on her profile card, badge and all.

The best compliment? Sofie and Stephany sent me an account that borrowed the whole look, colors, fonts and all. Imitation, flattery, etc. Ha.
Everything on file.
