Tiny Log Cabin Branding

The owners of a fun, cozy, and TINY log cabin reached out to me to create a logo for their rental. They wanted it to be modern, but also draw on the rugged and natural roots of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I definitely wanted to incorporate the very cool A-frame shape of the cabin, so I got to work!

The Process:

I always like to start with a round of sketching to get the ideas flowing— then, we move into Adobe Illustrator to add textures and vectorize the logos. The result is one primary logo and two submarks, perfect for using on social media, AirBNB’s website, and print advertisements.
