:: Mossarti visual identity – latest development ::

There have been several subtle but effective developments in the design of this logo and visual identity for Mossarti. It’s usually the client’s prerogative to like parts from each of the original designs and to request something that is a combination of these. This can sometimes result in a tricky and unhappy compromise, but in this instance I think you’ll agree that the current result is a success. There’s still more to do before a decision is reached, but it’s nearly there!

These are also alternatives that were developed when the potential for expansion in to other business areas was discussed.

:: Mossarti – visual identity ::

Mossarti is a slightly unusual business name, but one that my client Beverley Moss and I spent a lot of time discussing and debating. What we hope it captures is the spirit of fun and energy that she invests into every one of her handcrafted felt creations – as well as including a more obvious connection to her name, of course.

These crafting skills alongside the love and enthusiasm that Beverley invests into each piece were also the starting point for my idea generation, where I have referenced a variety of textile stitching and fabric effects. The symbolic love heart shape is also everywhere in the space where Beverley works, so after compiling research and mood boards, they kept appearing in many of my initial sketches too! The colour palettes chosen are also designed to reflect her energetic personality.

This project is a work in progress, so watch this space for future updates.

:: Just a bit of fun, me hearties! ::

Creatin’ birthday cards for me bucko’s young sprogs be always great fun. This year I thought I’d have a go at drawin’ a simple pirate ship for Jake’s second year – arrgh!

Sorry, I know it’s a bit early for national talk like a pirate day, but I couldn’t resist.
