Logo Design Brief
New logo design for a home decor retail store. We require a 1:1 logo for social media and a complementary Landscape logo for retail signage. Suggestions: 1.) Use the initials SW along with Sweet Wiiliam in the logo and add the word 'decor'. 2.) The blooms of a sweet william flower to make up the silhouette of a butterfly (or butterfly wing). This would be in front or faded out in the background. Classy, and a bit of old-world design, but not too busy. Less than three colours. Pencil sketch as an option. Well-branded, high-end decor store.See inspo files below for style.
Updates
Concept: The logo must prominently feature the business name Sweet William, with the option to also incorporate the initials SW if it enhances the design. A butterfly should be a key but subtle element, symbolizing elegance and new beginnings with a subtle or abstract presence that doesn't overpower the text.
Style: The font should be elegant but legible, conveying warmth and sophistication with a cohesive, artistic look
Butterfly Design: The butterfly could have a soft, pencil-sketch or line-art style, incorporating subtle floral elements—particularly the blooms of the Sweet William flower. These details might appear within the butterfly's wings or as accents around it, adding a unique touch without being overly intricate.
Overall Feel: The logo should be modern, elegant, and approachable, blending text and imagery seamlessly for a polished and professional aesthetic.
