Check Engine, Low Caffeine

Anyone who's driven with a dashboard warning light knows the feeling, something is technically wrong, but you'll deal with it later. This design applies that same logic to coffee, pairing the familiar check engine icon with a steaming mug to suggest the real problem isn't under the hood, it's in your caffeine levels. Using the instantly recognizable language of automotive warning symbols, the composition keeps the joke clean and immediate. Bold iconography, minimal typography, and a limited palette of amber, red, and black give it the look of a genuine dashboard alert while leaning into a bit of everyday humor. Simple, graphic, and easy to read from a distance, it's a playful crossover between car culture and coffee culture—perfect for anyone whose first diagnostic check each morning starts with a full mug.
