The NEED

Consistency and Appeal

Timeless, Own-able and Easily Applicable

The owner of Finnleys reached out to us because they were opening a third location in downtown Nashville and knew it was time to create consistency across all of their locations. They never had an official logo or brand style system that was consistent or a visual brand that truly spoke to their audience.
Being a staple in the Nashville shopping scene, it was time to create a real identity for Finnleys and do some brand strategy to create more clarity. With more stores to open in the works, the goal was a flexible solution that looked stylish and own-able but simple enough to apply in any situation. Most importantly, a consistent look no matter where a customer interacts with Finnleys. With more locations in the works, they needed to solidify their look and create a design system to scale.

The Results

Strategize and Create

A Confident Step Forward

After a few meetings, collaborative brainstorming, and mood boarding, we had everything we needed to start experimenting and creating the visual brand. The logo almost designed itself because the owner had such a heart for her community, employees, and customers. With the logo finalized, it played all the groundwork to build the rest of the identity and carried it to physical applications.
Before, Finnleys was very unorganized and inconsistent with its visual brand; its passion carried the company's weight. After working with us, we captured that passion and put it into the visual brand and system. Finnleys can consistently and confidently use this new brand as they continue to grow and expand.

Logo and Identity Development

We created a new logo mark, brand pattern, chose fonts and refined thier current colors. We designed a visual identity system that was easy to apply. The owner of Finnleys is cares so much about her employees and customers, that we decided a heart that resembled love, be the center of it all and completes the "F" in Finnleys.

Brand Guidelines

We packaged all the reasoning behind the design, and how to use the elements in a in highly stylized Brand Guidelines PDF. As Finnleys continues to grow, having a document like this will help direct and inspire future marketers or designers that would work with FInnleys in the years ahead.

Collateral Development

Being armed with a fancy new identity, it was time to apply it to all of their important printed and digital assets. This included new signage as well as bags, tags, shirts, example advertising and business cards.
