Brand Launch: Dalla Vita

When Cali contacted me earlier this year about branding her new succulent delivery business, I knew I had to be a part of this awesome project.  Cali and her brother Elliot live out in Santa Barbara and are simply amazing at designing the most beautifully handcrafted succulent arrangements that you’ve ever seen.  Cali had a unique vision for Dalla Vita and it was my pleasure to help her bring it to life.  We hand drew some of her favorite succulents and paired it with a simple sans serif font combination.  The bright colors and clean white background throughout the new Dalla Vita brand and give off that fresh, vibrant look we were shooting for.  You can check out some snap shots from our design process below along with a few images of their beautiful succulent arrangements…but we aren’t done quite yet.  Currently, we are hard at work on her new custom Shopify website design launching later this summer which will feature online and same-day delivery options for these lovely little arrangements in the Santa Barbara area.

New Brand Launch: Robertson Design/Build

This brand’s refreshing, modern/organic style had me giddy from the get-go (flash back to the RDB mood board here). Lucas is a custom builder up in Boston specializing in durable, environmentally responsible and elegant design for clients with a discerning eye.  We wanted his brand to match his clean, practical taste while giving justice to his incredible portfolio.   We chose a fresh color palette with earth tones and cool drops of color paired with a sans serif font and simple “build” of the RDB as his main element.  I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our process below and we look forward to sharing the RDB website currently under construction and launching this summer!

New Brand Launch: Whiskey & White Events – Raleigh, NC

Introducing the new Whiskey & White Events on this beautiful spring-like (finally) morning.   Emily, owner and creative director, came to Salted Ink looking for an elegant new brand design for her event planning business and bridal boutique. With a swanky space in downtown Raleigh, she offers full service event planning along with the perfect spot for the bridal party to get ready before they make their grand entrance at one of the many surrounding wedding venues.  I really enjoyed working with the limited/muted color palette and awesomely creative name of W&W.  We are currently working on their beautiful new site as we speak and will be sharing it upon launch here in the next few weeks!

New Brand Launch: Hope Toliver Photography

I am pumped to kick this week off with Hope Toliver’s new high fashion photography brand launch.  Hope shoots gorgeous senior photo sessions out in Tulsa, Oklahoma and surrounding areas.  To match her photography style, she was in search of a new brand that would compliment her high fashion edge and speak to the class of 2014 and beyond.  Her logo translated beautifully onto t-shirts and watermarks and we are just getting started on her 2014 senior booklet coming out this spring.  Check out a snapshot of our inspiration and output along with some beautiful photos provided by Hope below showcasing her lovely new watermark styles.

New Brand Launch: Ashlyn Burke Events

Say hello to the new Ashlyn Burke Events.  Ashlyn is extremely talented event designer & coordinator and also happens to be a very thoughtful person and good friend of mine.  We met back in November about her decision to take the leap and start her own company specializing in wedding and corporate events and I was super flattered when she asked me to design the look of her new business.  She wanted a subtle coastal feel but balanced with a cool, colorful, modern edge. We worked together and created a hand drawn logo and complimentary submark that she can use on all her awesome branded swag.    This is just the start of what is coming for AB Events and you can check out a snap shot of our process below.   We are currently working on the website and can’t wait to show you her new home on the web in the next couple months.

New Brand Launch: Sweetest Celebrations

Haydee has to be one of my sweetest clients to date.  She is the owner and talented event stylist and coordinator of Sweetest Celebrations located in Miami, Florida. She came to me looking for a soft feminine “parisian chic” feel for her new brand.  We hand drew the “sweetest” in a semi traditional calligraphy style and added “celebrations” in the beautiful Anna Clara typeface.  The light blush ombre watercolor provides a perfect balance to the bold romantic black and gold tones.  Haydee – I know this took me forever to post and you are already taking over the event planning world by now!

New Brand Launch: Ashley Lynn Fry Photography & Creative Styling

Another fellow creative that I had the opportunity to work with back in 2013…check out the new new look for Ashley Lynn Fry Photography & Creative Styling.  Ashley is an awesomely talented wedding photographer who also has a serious talent for styling and coordinating events.  She was looking for a handwritten logo that highlighted her initials “ALF” since her name is a pretty long one.  Succulents inspired the green focused color palette and we added in a touch of black and gold to round out the look.  You can check out how we got to the final result by taking a peak at her brand inspiration board below.  Ashley – Thanks for being a great client and I wish you all the best with your new brand launch!

New Brand Launch: Sweet Lilac Photography

Since the closing out of 2013 was so busy, I am a little behind in sharing some of the beautiful brands I had the opportunity to design last year.  In light of the freezing temps around lately…here is the warm, comfy, new brand for Sweet Lilac Photography.  Courtney, owner and photographer behind Sweet Lilac, was looking for her new brand to really reflect her personal and professional style.  She always found herself gravitating towards a warm, muted color palette with rustic undertones and her Pinterest pins and questionnaire answers really helped me nail down her new look.  Below you will find her inspiration board, a few logos that didn’t quite make the cut, and her final new look {that was actually a combo of her favorite aspects from 2 of the 4 logo choices she was originally presented}.
