The Centennial Barn is a beautifully restored and renovated private residence. The design and styling are magnificent. The project required a custom logo, website, and stationary.
Logo & Branding Design Process
I wanted the logo to show the barn’s structure in an iconic way. And in order to be as accurate as possible, I knew that I needed to change the angle at which it can normally be seen. Since it is so large and situated along a hill, it’s impossible to view the barn fully from an orthographic perspective. This was the reasoning for my approach; to photograph the basic sides, and then to use these as a template for stenciling into a 3D shape.

A stencil was created for all sides of the barn to create a 3D shape. This helped to angle the view for a more desired perspective.

Now that the barn is in 3D, it can be reviewed from different angles before we decided on the best perspective.
Using Adobe Illustrator, I applied different styles of ink brush strokes to the wireframe of the illustration. we didn't go with this style, but I still love it.
