Design Process
After researching and listing words that reflect both the purpose and the aesthetic of the company, a set of initial thumbnail sketches were created to explore possible logo ideas. The most promising ideas were refined in further sketches
In the final design, the stem creates a “P” to visually echo the name of the bookstore. The petals of the flower form the shape of an open book. Further, the repetition in lines and shapes visually unites the separate elements into a flower shape evocative of a cottage garden.
Because there were not branding guidelines in place, I was able to explore various color and font combinations. In the end, traditional rose colors captured the feel of a cottage garden. A slab-serif font gave the logo an updated feel while maintaining comfortable, traditional lines.
