de homemade cakes logo

a small brand for a home baker. the mark folds a "d" and an "e" into two little cakes and wraps them in a "homemade cakes" ring: warm, hand-made, easy to spot on a box.

the mark

a monogram first, a logo second. it had to read at thumbnail size on a phone and still feel hand-iced.

the system

one identity, drawn out into the pieces a small kitchen actually uses: logo variants, a palette and type pairing, cards, social, packaging, and a sign for the door.
