Inspiring trip to the Royal Academy last weekend to see some of Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael’s amazing sketches and notebooks that would be the basis of some of their most famous works

One of my favourite projects to date - I love to create a brand that showcases an already beautiful product and makes it shine! My client Brabourne Vineyard wanted a brand that would position it in a space that communicated its premium quality combined with its English provenance using a fresh and clean visual language. When designing the company’s logo I researched the history, ecology and geology of the North Downs on which the vineyard sits. The resulting brand mark was inspired by a pattern found in a unique stained glass window in Brabourne’s village church, thought to be the oldest of its kind still in existence in England.The central flower symbol is symbolic of Brabourne Vineyard’s commitment to nature, and the encircling ring could suggest a barrel. I chose an earthy green and charcoal grey to further express brand values of respect for nature, quality and authenticity.
