Niebla is a self-initiated brand for a glamping retreat 2,350 metres up in the Andean cloud forest near El Retiro, Antioquia. Board-formed concrete pavilions sit in a clearing of eucalyptus and pine, and most mornings the fog settles right over them. The idea behind the brand is simple: sleep inside the cloud.
The identity is built to feel made by hand, not manufactured. There’s a hand-drawn word mark, a line-drawn emblem for El Retiro, and a small cloud character called la nube who turns up on signs, keyrings and cans. All of it sits on a calm, restrained system of moss green, off-white cream and monospaced labels.

A hand-drawn wordmark against such a restrained moss and cream system is a nice balance. Does la nube get any freedom to vary, say in pose or drawing quality across the cans and keyrings, or is the character kept as a fixed asset?

Right now he is a fixed asset but I have plans to animate it so there will be more variations soon.
