Carter Hair & Make-up
Brand & Logo Design
When I met Holly of Carter Hair & Make-up, she was facing the common problem of lack of continuity in her branding. Holly is a bridal hair and make-up artist, offering high-end, quality services. However, her branding was not reflecting this. The lack of consistency was causing her frustrations! She wanted her marketing to look succinct.
Solving the problem
Holly has a great personality, which is her unique selling point. Her energy shines through in all her branding photos, I wanted her logo and branding to reflect that too. My goal was to give Holly all the tools she needed to create a consistent message throughout her social media channels, website and marketing. I wanted to create branding with a luxurious, yet friendly feel mirroring Holly and her bridal business.
The concept for Holly’s logo is derived from a strong, yet elegant font. A font reminiscent of glossy, luxury fashion magazines. To add a touch of softness I incorporated natural, feminine curved lashes. This detail adds interest as well as being relevant to her service offering. Carter is a short name making it very versatile in terms of usage. Holly can pair this logo with or without a strap line, giving her flexibility of use.
Once again, I created a secondary logo which can be used alongside the initial logo or independently. I provided Holly with extra bespoke illustrations; giving her flexibility in her marketing and softening the overall look of her branding.
Colours & Fonts
In the bridal industry there is a lot of pink! I was keen to give Holly a colour pallet that allowed contrast and created interest, using pastel colours that represent soft make-up shades.
I carefully curated a harmonious colour palette that truly complements the overall aesthetic. Using pinks for that feminine feel, greens to give it a refreshing, tranquil element and a dark grey to add contrast. This colour palette shows both sides of Holly’s personality whilst keeping the colours appealing to attract her dream clients.
When choosing brand font pairings I considered what would work seamlessly for Holly moving forward, allowing her to use them on her website and other materials. This re-brand has allowed Holly to create the continuity she craved, enabling her to attract more clients.
