What does your name written in ‘landsat’ look like?

Wondering what ‘on earth’ (pun intended) I am talking about? 😅

NASA has a tool called ‘your name in Landsat’, where you can type your name or a phrase and it shows that name represented in satellite images - I know, so cool?!

You might be wondering ‘what does this have to do with design?’

Well, design can be found all around us. Not just in man-made shapes or items, but also (and especially) in nature. The curves, the angles, the organic forms and the swirls of colour. Sometimes the best inspiration, is to simply look out the window. ✨

What does your name look like in nature? 👇🏻

✨READ THIS BEFORE PAYING FOR LOGO DESIGN✨

Too many business owners rush into the quickest, cheapest or prettiest logo option, without understanding these 5 key things…

👉🏻 secure your business name first

I’ve seen people invest in branding only to realise they can’t register the name and they have to go back to square one (and pay all over again)!

👉🏻 good logos aren’t rushed

If someone is promising you a full logo creation in 24-48 hours, it’s probably not strategic or designed to serve you.

👉🏻 your logo is a first impression

You want your logo to represent who you are and attract the right kind of person.

👉🏻 not all logo packages are created equal

Low-cost, often equals low flexibility and poor usability (think: can’t scale, print properly or use across platforms). What seems like a saving upfront can become a limitation later.

👉🏻 a logo is only one part of the brand

A logo is a starting point, without colours, fonts and clear direction, it won’t carry your business very far.

Remember, if you’re investing in a logo, make sure it’s built to do more than just “look good”. Well designed logos are true assets to your business.

I hope you find this helpful 🫶🏻

Kind words like these from the inspiring business owners that I get to work with, is why I do what I do ❣️

One of the things I pride myself on with all my clients is taking a confusing & overwhelming process and making it ‘make sense’.

When you are trusting a designer to bring your brand identity to life, you want to feel heard, understood and respected and nothing communicates trust more than a patient, informed and responsive process.

Thank you for the love, Ruth 🫶🏻

A little Sunday reminder ✨

I love this way of re-framing the way we see success.

When the world is so chaotic, uncertain and filled with expectation, it’s nice to pause, reflect and appreciate all the small wins that come from within.

Your happiness belongs to you.

Sending love,

🚩 Why shouldn’t you use Canva for your logo?

As a brand designer, this is something I am passionate about.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore Canva as an accessible design tool that can save you time & money on simple projects.

But, trusting it for the backbone of your brand (aka. Your logo & branding), is a risk.

Here’s why…

🚩 It’s not exclusively yours
Designs created in Canva cannot be exclusively trademarked as your own design, meaning they aren’t yours. Stock photos, graphics or templates created in Canva are owned by Canva or their contributors. Unless you have created a unique Canva design using solely basic shapes, lines or fonts, you won’t own the rights to your logo.

But, this brings me to my second point…

🚩 It’s not unique
If you are using templates or basic shapes, lines and fonts in Canva to create your logo, chances are thousands of people are doing the same. I don’t know about you, but I want my logo to stand out from the crowd, not be a replica of hundreds of others. Your logo should be unique, designed strategically to represent your business and resonate with your audience. A cookie cutter won’t cut it.

🚩 It’s difficult to scale
Logos created in Canva are often created in pixel-based formats (image files), rather than in a vector. This means that when you take that lovely logo from Canva and go to your local printer or web designer to have it added to other business assets, it will appear pixelated or blurry. This stops you from being to enlarge your logo to the require size or use it in different formats. Super unhelpful!

If you are reading this and thinking “oh crap, that’s me”. Don’t stress! You are not alone and there is no judgement here.

If you are ready to level-up your logo with a professional design that gives you ownership, flexibility AND stands out, well, hello 👋🏻 you are in the right place.

I have a neatly packaged (and very welcoming) ‘brand bar’ of three logo offers designed to meet you at your stage and budget in business.

Check it out on my website, or get in touch to discuss which option would be the right fit for you.

I feel very fortunate that I get to work with some hard-working, creative and talented business owners and Zoe from Coast to Coast Grazed is no exception.

When Zoe reached out to have her logo done for her grazing box business, her brief excited me (after I was done drooling over her delicious creations 🤤).

She was looking for...

🌸 Coastal, floral, delicate, feminine aesthetic
🌸 Logo formats suitable for socials, stickers & packaging items
🌸 Professional branding suite

This is what we come up with and (call me biased, but) I am still obsessed

This one is a throwback, but I couldn’t resist sharing it (as we know, tea-obsessed girlie over here 🙋🏼‍♀️🍵)…

POV: You are asked to design branding for a start-up tea brand *screaming with excitement*

What’s required?

👉 Logo (in different formats)

👉 Branding suite (colours, fonts, icons)

👉 Packaging (simple pouches)

What’s the vibe?

✨ Playful & colourful

✨ Versatile across collateral

✨ Uniquely delicious (of course)

What do you think? Would this catch your eye on a shelf?

A love letter to all the incredible women in my life…

✨ the women I am privileged to work with
✨ the women that I am blessed call friends
✨ the women that raised me, empowered me, supported me and paved the way…

I am forever in awe of everything these women achieve and contribute.

Please know that…

🌸 your efforts never go unnoticed.
🌸 your time is never taken for granted.
🌸 your support is always appreciated (and returned)

What an honour it is to be surrounded by the type of people that stand up for what they believe in, who make a difference and who never fail to inspire.

This is for you.

You’ve got this! 👊🏻

Happy International Women’s Day 💜
