Name: Oak & Sprout Playthings

Founders’ Story:
We’re a couple of Montessori-inspired makers who started crafting solid-oak tracing boards and keepsakes for our daughter. Friends loved them so much, we decided to share the joy—and now we’re building timeless, heirloom-quality toys for curious little minds everywhere.

3. Logo Concept & Stamp Version
1. Primary Logo
• Icon: A single-line oak leaf that seamlessly curves into a young sprout.
• Logotype: “Oak & Sprout” in a sturdy serif/slab font, “Playthings” in a friendly, rounded sans below.
• Layout: Horizontal lock-up (icon to left of text) plus a centered badge version (icon above text) for square applications.
2. Stamp-Friendly Version
• Monochrome-only, simplified to bold outlines (no gradients or fine shading).
• All elements reduced to single-stroke paths at a minimum stroke weight of ~2 pt when scaled to a 2 cm stamp.
• Ensure ≥1 mm clear space between elements so the stamp won’t bleed.
Note for designer: Deliver vector files (SVG, EPS, PDF) with separate “Full Logo” and “Stamp Version” artboards.
