04. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Using the above illustrations, below we have the final logo design concept that showcases how the above elements were combined:

The icon is an illustration that was extracted from two of the reference images received in order to leave a warm, refreshing, yet “homely” feeling within customers who view the vacation home. It is an icon that could be seen as timeless yet rare; peaceful yet rustic to embody the overall experience and surroundings within nature that customers may endevour.

The sans serif font style as well as the script font style used within the main text compliments the icon as it is more softer, luxurious and elegant to indicate the essence of the house.

The colour combination is a subtle mix of the wonders of nature and the location of the vacation home – earthy colour tones.
