This Week: Logos!

8/24/2016

When I'm not illustrating, I like to use my artistic skills for local businesses. Most times, that comes in the form of social media marketing, but sometimes I get the chance to add a fun facet to an already existing brand, build a logo from the ground up, or even create the brand itself from scratch. This week, I have four finished examples I want to share, as well as the process behind each one.
Picture
The first is for E. Shaver, bookseller, a historic staple of downtown Savannah, GA. Last year, I started selling my "Reading is Sexy" totebags through them, and when I went down for a visit, I stopped in and, after talking with the owner about her products, created a sticker for their logo. It uses the same font from the exterior sign, and has a nice, classic feel, just like the bookshop.
Picture
The logo for Make My Wedding Work was a fun design project, because I got to play with the shape and rhythm of the actual letters. Acronym logos can be tricky, but I just couldn't say no to those repeating M's and W's.
Picture
The third logo is for a new furniture refurbishment business, and not only did I get to create the logo, I got to help create the name itself with the owners, a mother-daughter team, to reflect the old-made-new brand message, with a handcrafted and vintage feel as seen in the retro typewriter/printing press font.
Picture
The final logo I want to show you is one that took the most work, and the most collaboration, but came out quite stunning in the end. This is for The Shoppes at Fountain City Station, a brand new vendor market with a boutique feel, housed in the historic Station in downtown Fountain City. After a round of new design work featuring script fonts and flowers, the idea of incorporating the station's historic exterior signage into the logo itself was introduced, at which point I realized the font no longer existed, meaning I had to recreate the font. This unique challenge made this one of the more fun projects I undertook, simply for its new set of problems to overcome, and in the end, I got to still incorporate my fun script fonts and decorative features. If you stop by The Shoppes in the coming weeks to check out the logo, you can also check out my own vendor booth inside, filled with prints, blankets, carry-all pouches and more featuring my illustrations!
