Adding A Logo: Cotton Sail Consulting

_________________________________________________________________________________

Cotton Sail Consulting is a new consulting business with a very clear vision. Their mission is to "increase effectiveness by strengthening leadership and applying Biblical principles". The founder just so happens to be one of the greatest men I know -- my dad!


 In his email describing the new concept, he writes:
"The thought of a cotton sail brings to mind the early days of sailing when the skills of seamanship really meant something. Mariners set a course for a new destination. It was a journey marked by obstacles and the excitement of new discoveries. In large measure, however, success depended on competence, leadership and teamwork."

We wanted the logo to have a clean look without getting too trendy or modern. With a business like this, you want to communicate that the company is grounded and constant. Whereas, a company like a hair salon would want a more stylized logo that gives off the impression that they are in line with the latest trends.

Serif fonts (with the little feet on the ends of the letters) are associated with being established, confident, and classic. We found a serif font that still had very clean lines. Paired with a crisp, simple outline of a sail, we had our look! Clean and Classic! (like a good sailboat) We added in some notoriously nautical colors - navy and gold, and we were ready to start the printing press! 

Another fun project completed! (with one of my favorite people!)
