“Unbreakable synergy”

When two elements are united, they work to strengthen and improve one another. The Georgia World Convention Center Authority and Refuge Coffee Co. working together generate an unbreakable synergy. The junction of the two brands emanates a strong sense of belonging, inclusion, and service. All visitors are intended to be welcomed by our design, which also supports the neighborhood. Upon arriving and congregating at this modest "welcome mat" of a kiosk, individuals from various cultural backgrounds would undoubtedly piece together a lively picture of the neighborhood.
