Branding Client Update | Wunderhaus Interiors

I recently made several edits to this brand and I wanted to share it with you guys. I created a full brand style guide as well as collateral items and social media branding. 


During two of my summer breaks in college, I worked for a woman and her husband who ran their own directional drilling company out of Oklahoma. At that time, I was planning to get my degree in Interior Design, and this woman—Beth Ketchum—had worked as an interior designer for years, so we hit it off right away.


Beth and I stayed in touch after I returned to school (and ultimately decided to forgo the interior design route). A few months ago she messaged me about creating a logo for the new design + consulting company she was starting, Wunderhaus Interiors Design + Consult. 


I was so thrilled to work with Beth again on such a fun project! She is super talented and I can’t wait to see all the beautiful homes she will create.

At the beginning of this project, I asked Beth to complete my branding questionnaire and she used these words to describe her company: Fresh, modern, clean, serene, relaxed and organized. 


Beth also knew she wanted to keep it simple using colors like white, cream, gray and charcoal. I LOVE a light, airy design so I was so excited to read her answers on my questionnaire. Based on her feedback, here’s a look at the inspiration board I put together for her project:
 

 
 


I had so many ideas, but I remember when I sat down to sketch I didn’t really love anything I came up with. As I’ve mentioned before, I struggle with my sketches because I never think they are quite good enough. But it’s such an important step in the creative process, so I force myself do it anyways. And in the spirit of being fully transparent, here’s a look at my sketches.

 

 
 


Once I had a few solid ideas, I hopped into Illustrator to flesh them out. I always start the process in black and white to make sure the design and typography are a quality design, regardless of color. Once I narrowed it down to the final few logos, I established a color palette and applied different colors to my favorite options.

 

 

Beth chose the middle option and I was so excited! If I’m being completely honest, this option was my favorite. After a few minor adjustments we had ourselves a finished logo!

At the time of this project, Beth was only in need of a logo for her business. Since the completion of her project, I decided to build the rest of her brand and create an entire brand + collateral package.


Next I created alternate logos, sub marks, a color palette, patterns, and selected fonts. I put all the pieces together in a style guide. A style guide helps the client to see all the pieces of their project work together, and provides a reference page for future use.

Once I completed the style guide, I moved on to create social media branding and collateral items. I put together banner images for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn as well as profile images and app icons. I created an email signature, business cards, stationery, thank you cards, and a marketing mail piece.
