Logo - Stacked Lockup with Custom Constellation Icons
Rachel designed a logo that perfectly captures who we are and what we're about! We adore all of the brand collateral she created, and she couldn't have been more lovely to work with.
โ FAVORITE SISTER
Monogram
Client
Favorite Sister is an upscale women's clothing boutique in Hudson, Ohio, built on a warm, personal approach: shopping there should feel like shopping with your favorite sister โ someone who has your back, makes you laugh, and helps you find your next favorite piece.
Brief
The founders needed a complete brand identity launched in six weeks for the 2023 holiday season. The goal was a visual system that felt playful yet polished enough to sit alongside the boutique's luxury fashion inventory.
Process
Typography First: Explored three text-focused concepts to establish voice. The client chose an elegant serif with interlocking letters.
The Concept: Pivoted from complex star mythology to a clearer metaphor โ stars as a navigation system, representing how a sister helps guide you through the world, and the way Favorite Sister guides its customers to their next favorite piece.
Refinement: Created a custom constellation motif and scaled the stars so they'd still read clearly at small sizes. The final system includes stacked and horizontal lockups, both with and without the accompanying stars โ though even in the minimal version, two stars stay woven into the wordmark itself, tucked into the F and E's.
