La Hacienda is a desert retreat in the Arizona hillside of Fountain Hills. Inspired by the Spanish-colonial spirit and architecture, La Hacienda is an exclusive neighborhood that is both inspiring and nurturing.
To amplify that spirit, we designed an identity that is modern looking and show its distinct architectural feature. The palette of the sun kissed terra-cotta Arizona desert.
Borrowing the craft of the early 1900 stamp style and minimize it into simple workable geometry. We took two iconic elements found on the La Hacienda environment; the Saguaro (cactus) the Arizona native plant and the La Hacienda arch porch, making it a recognizable graphic representation of the identity.
Resley Louise is a handmade jeweller based in Texas, who specializes in creating unique pieces of jewellery for every client. Resley came to us looking to create a solid logo & brand that is inspired by her love of nature, simplicity, handcrafted objects, geometric shapes, gemstones, and the colour rose gold.
In developing the logo & branding, we took to keeping things handmade and crafted the logo by hand to create a wordmark that is clean, simple and chic. Elements in nature have inspired the brand right from the photography down to the colour palette and organic flow & form of the wordmark.
