CASE STUDY
Need
Logo designs for new housing developments in the Central Valley, CA.
Solution
First thing was to research the areas of Hanford, CA for the Sidonia logo and Tulare, CA for the Manzanita Valley logo. We wanted to do a fruit crate label style of art so finding out the main crops of the regions was needed.
The Manzanita logo started out as Manzana or the spanish word for apple and then changed to Manzanita so it wouldn;'t be confused with the Manzanar Relocation Camp in Owens Valley.
Finding photos and taking different photos eventually required heavy Photoshop image manipulation to get the final successful results. Many different fonts were tested until client approval.
