This project was special because it was a surprise for someone’s mum. Two sisters were looking for a logo designed for their mother’s part-time hobby/business. She makes custom order cakes, baked goods, jams, and more and they wanted to offer the logo as a Christmas present. They had a pretty clear idea of what they wanted since their mom had already created a logo using some elaborate photocopying.
Artist’s painting of the cottage
First drafts
Concept
Where the sisters are from, all the houses have a name. Their house was named Annan Cottage, as was a small cottage that was on their property. An artist did a small painting of the cottage which their mom photocopied and then did up the words ‘Annan Cottage‘ in a fancy font in word, printed it out, and then photocopied it above the picture of the cottage. She used this combined image to make labels.

They were interested in keeping this same idea. The business name their mom was using, Annan Cottage, and the image of a house. However, instead of the cottage that the artist had painted, they preferred the house to be more in the spirit of their mom’s new little house – which was also named Annan Cottage.
The teal of the door had to be just right and was based on the following colour.
