First, we discussed some critical branding questions. What are your brand values? How do you want customers to perceive you? Who is your target audience?
Thereafter, our talented design team got to work. Consequently producing a unique lodge branding that captures Rymore’s beautiful offering. Moreover, showcasing everything they have to offer. In a new logo, stationery and website.

We wanted to incorporate a natural element into the logo. Making it clear to customers exactly what they’re in for. Therefore, we produced an image of a lodge surrounded by pine woodland. The same species of tree surrounding Rymore. Suitably, we positioned the tree to look obscure yet symmetrical. Getting gradually bigger as they follow the shape of the house. In turn, creating a nice all-around logo shape. Despite this, it’s not a perfect triangle of trees. Instead, we made sure it was uneven to reflect the imbalance of nature. The lodge itself is white. Which better stands out against the trees. In addition, there are also a few small windows to emphasise the homely ambience.

On the contrary, we used two font typefaces. We wrote ‘Rymore’ in a larger bold text to highlight the businesses name. ‘Wood lodge,’ on the other hand, was written in a neat, handwritten font. Handwritten fonts are seen as more fun, friendly and personal. It gives the viewer a sense of personal relationship between them and your business.
The contrast between a large bolder font, and a smaller cursive font makes each one stand out better. ‘Wood lodge’ is telling the customer exactly what they do. Furthermore, we added two more lines side by side of ‘wood lodge. Once again, creating a better shape. Similarly using rustic, sketch-like drawn lines to match the wood lodge typography.

Rather than using a form of green, which is often used for woodland lodge branding. Instead, we wanted Rymore to stand out in a saturated market. On account of this, we used a rich gold colour. A deeper, rich gold is associated with luxury, prestige and high quality. Further, evoking a sense of a luxury woodland lodge.

Finally, the website needed to send the same lodge branding message to visitors. Showcasing stunning imagery of Rymores interior, exterior and verdant setting. Therefore, we used the same gold colour scheme and hand-written typography on the site. Consistency in branding strengthens your brand image. On top of this, the website is intuitive and smooth-running. Moreover, supported by an easy to follow navigation bar. Which allows visitors to quickly locate the information they need.
