Moody and Romantic Winter Austin Wedding

Forever swooning over the stationery we got to create for Katie and Mike’s romantic, autumn wedding in Austin.

The word ‘swoon’ was created just so we could accurately describe this wedding!! We are seriously swooning over all of Katie and Mike’s romantic wedding photos. With an abundance of candlelight and deep winter colors, this wedding was everything. For Katie and Mike, we designed these stunningly simple letterpress invitations with a gorgeous maroon ribbon and matching envelope liners. We also included a watercolor illustration of downtown Austin, a floral envelope liner, and a gorgeous vellum outer envelope! For the actual wedding day, we got the chance to have a little fun with it by creating fun pink cocktail napkins, drink menus, and hotel ‘do not disturb’ hangers! We just wish we could do it all again for this sweet couple!

Western Chic Outdoor Austin Wedding

We loved Allie and Colton’s chic, neutral southern vibes.

Allie and Colton’s quintessential Austin wedding was the perfect balance between southern and sophisticated! Gorgeous neutral florals framed all the stunning moments of their big day, and vibrant pops of blue added a fun twist to the design. For their invitation suite, we created a soft neutral invitation, with a matching beige envelope and cream wax seal! We also had the pleasure of designing their day of stationery, which included custom koozies and menus that also acted as place cards! Natural wood and leather elements in the bar and lounge seating created the perfect touch of western for this otherwise chic wedding. And no true Texas wedding is complete without a little sparkle- Allie and Colton drove off in a tunnel of sparkler fountains! A perfect end to the night!

Logo Refresh

Refreshing a current logo is a less drastic approach than a completely new logo design. When we design a logo refresh, we work with the original logo as inspiration and use the current design elements.

Examples would be updating colors, adding copy or messages, or updating the feel or vibe of the logo. Below are some examples of well-known logo refreshes…

And our own small business logo refresh examples. Notice how the colors are the same and fonts are similar, but there’s either added wording or re-formatted design.

Logo Design

A logo design is for new businesses who need a logo or for established businesses who need a whole new look with a logo re-design.

Logos are important to any business: service-based companies, retail stores, entrepreneurs, and even Etsy shop owners, influencers, and network marketing members.

An example of a logo for new business…

And for established business who want a new look for a logo redesign….

And logos for influencers, Etsy shops, and networking marketing…

For more information or questions on your own logo, let us know! We will be happy to offer our professional opinion on which route is best for you.
