Introduction & Background

Childers Co. is a Design + Build Company that prides itself on an elevated heirloom feeling combined with modern artful craft. Their tagline 'Built for Beautiful Living' encapsulates the essence of the brand. They aimed to evoke warmth, atmospheric interiors, captivating lighting, and lush scenery reminiscent of villagecore aesthetics.

Inspiration & Concept

Inspired by brands like Proper Hotel and Flamingo Estate, the design sought to bring together the captivating essence of art, warm bronze hues, and the atmospheric touch of villagecore elegance. This mood board served as a guide to capture Childers Co.'s desire for beautiful and artful living.

Process & Drafts

In the design process for Childers Co., a deep dive into the principles of design thinking was essential. By empathizing with the brand's core values and understanding the audience's perception, the project embarked on a journey to create something both classic and contemporary. Researching typography and color palettes led to the discovery of elegant and timeless styles that are also in sync with modern trends. The challenge was to find the perfect balance that reflects the heirloom quality yet speaks to the artful craft of today. Through meticulous attention to detail, the curves and edges of different letters were fused together, resulting in a seamless wordmark. Each draft underwent a series of iterations and refinements, aligning the aesthetics with the desired ambiance. Collaboration with the client and periodic evaluations ensured that the design maintained its integrity while adhering to the 'elevated heirloom' vision. The fusion of traditional elegance with a contemporary edge was not merely a design decision but a strategic choice to embody the brand's ethos of 'Built for Beautiful Living.' The result was a wordmark that serves as an epitome of design excellence, resonating with the modern artistic craftsmanship that Childers Co. represents.
