The Villas at Spanish Court are a collection of eight historic villas located in Minden, Louisiana originally constructed in the 1930s. The property has recently undergone major exterior and interior renovations spearheaded by owner and entrepreneur Sara McDaniel to bring the dwellings back to life. Renovations are fully complete and The Villas are open for short-term vacation rentals.

A comprehensive branding effort took place during renovations to establish a new brandmark and coordinating identity system. I worked with Parish Design Co. as the lead graphic designer.

My roles on this project included:
        Logomark Creation
        Visual Identity Development
        Conceptual Branding & Mockups

Special Thanks to client Sara McDaniel.

Typography





Visual Identity Creation







Patterns & Expression

A playful system creates pattern, while repetition creates order and feature break lines.










Mockups & Applications


The identity system filters into the interior environment in the form of decorative objects and accessories.

Personal toiletry products for guests.


The brandmark is adaptable across a variety of applications and product types. It can also take on a functional component as seen here in the form of a loading wheel.


The identity system can help differentiate different product types for guests.
