The Chocolate Museum Köln is a cultural landmark, a sustainability pioneer, and an educational hub. The challenge was to convey this diversity in a bold, focused key visual.

How can the Schokoladenmuseum stand out among Cologne’s tourist attractions? As a freelancer for Superblau, I reimagined the Schokoladenmuseum Köln’s brand for its 30th anniversary. The goal was to create a sensory-rich experience that celebrated the museum’s legacy while connecting with new audiences. By designing a brochure and refreshing the key visual, we brought tradition and modernity together under one identity.

A chocolate experience that speaks to the senses. To express the museum’s multifaceted nature, we utilized the brochure as a key communication tool.

The brochure serves as both a physical touchpoint and a starting point for the brand’s refreshed identity. The brochure’s design, inspired by the form of a chocolate bar, combines high-quality imagery, indulgent textures, and contemporary typography, ensuring it resonates with both loyal visitors and younger audiences.

We benchmarked tourism brochures, analyzing layouts, colors, typography, and user experience. We identified best practices and opportunities to make the Schokoladenmuseum brochure stand out. The findings guided us in designing a visually striking and informative piece that resonates with both international tourists and locals.

Blending heritage with modern appeal.
The brochure became the foundation for the refreshed brand, available in three languages and designed to resemble a chocolate bar. Bold chocolate tones paired with bright orange and pink accents gave it a youthful and dynamic feel. High-quality imagery and sleek typography completed the indulgent design.
