Grace Clay Co
Behind the Application
Being a start-up earring brand, one of the most important applications to be made would be a banner and icon for Etsy, where they are primarily sold. The second important piece of collateral to be made was the card that the earring would be mounted onto for sale.
Behind the logo
The logo was to have more organic shapes and lines to reflect the soft feminine look of the jewelry and to reflect some of the owner's personality.
Services: Branding
Grace owns a small business making clay earrings and wanted a logo that can be used on packaging and any business accounts to have a united look across all platforms to be more professional.

Inspiration
After talking with the client about what feel she wanted the branding to have, I put together some images, including the ones to the left. After the client confirmed this was the direction she wanted me to go, I got to work sketching and ideating.
After putting together the mood board, I picked out more specific colors for the brand that reflected the soft feminine feel that I set out to make. The Bree Serif Light font was customized to be more cohesive with the logo by adding elements of the logo. For example, changing the bottom terminals (or ends of the letters) on the uppercase G and C to be reminiscent of the ribbon shape in the logo. Then, a circle was added to the upper terminals on the lower case A, R, and C as well as the descender (the dangly bit on the bottom) of the lower case Y to match the center of the flower in the logo.
