Havenly Acres
Havenly Acres, the creation of Laura Montgomery and her fiancé Sean Booth, is currently a vision and is slated to become reality in 2025. I reached out to Laura to see if I could design a logo for her to use in my portfolio as a sample of client work. She and Sean allowed me to create a logo and slogan for their retreat they plan to have in the future.
We started with a Brand Identity Questionnaire, which I use for all new clients to get a feel for their brand identity. This is used to help in brainstorming initial ideas for a logo, as well as getting a general understanding of the feel of the brand, which would be translated through the logo.
I developed a few different directions, based on information from the questionnaire which I showed to Laura and Sean for feedback. Based on their feedback, and a few more tweaks, we landed on the evergreens done in traditional pen. and ink and then digitized into a vector image.
From there, I developed a main, a secondary, and tertiary logo and color palette that can be used across different platforms for branding. purposes.

Additionally, I mocked up a website and social media posts using pictures from their land. Mockups are a really great way to see how a logo works in action, and how to visualize branding across different platforms.
