Final logo design: after a couple rounds of iteration, we arrived at this final logo design - capturing the essence of a willow tree in an accessible, clean and elegant way.
The process behind the designs: I always start with hand sketches to come up with initial concepts and then take the best of those into illustrator to iterate on them digitally. Once I do this, I distill the options down to the strongest few and chat through these with the client to gather their feedback. After implementing said feedback I close with vertical and horizontal logo lockups to ensure there’s a version for every use case needed.
Brand applications: After the logo design was chosen, I took this and created sticker, T-shirt, menu, tumbler, outdoor signage, stamp and pattern designs with it.
Website design: After creating the brand collateral, I designed the company a website - simple and easy to navigate while still being informative and achieving the main goal of allowing users to view the menu and order online.
