I designed this logo for the Old Charm Bed & Breakfast in St. Mary’s, PA. The client, owner Michael, wanted something modern yet mixed with a traditional and of course, charming feeling. We went through a few rounds of ideas and settled on this. The actual filigree illustration in the rounded square is based on the top of a chandelier that I found and loved. He chose the colors of maroon and limey green — they are favorites of his! Looks like he’s already implemented it on his website too

I looove working on projects like this – they are the dream for a designer!

Meeting Heather through a comment on her blog and then the rest of the GTG girls in my breakout into the photography field has been so awesome. They have helped and encouraged me so much, and I was thrilled to work with Heather on something for her business that could help polish her image. She had her colors chosen already, so we worked with them and had a few meetings to really establish what she was looking for. Sometimes you don’t know until you see it whether you like it or don’t. She pushed me hard on this – and I’m glad she did. I think we came out with a beautiful mark for her, inspired from a bunch of different places, and spent a ton of time choosing the mark and the typeface itself. We went for a purchased rather than a free one for the script because having a professional font that actually costs something (even if it’s not a ton) really makes you have the edge over others who are just ripping off the latest and funkiest free font off the internet (not that there is anything wrong with them – they are just more prevalent)

Heather – I hope you are so happy with your logo, and I’m excited to see you’ve already applied it to your website and pictures as a new watermark.
