INFO

plntrs.

plntrs. (@plntrs.shop) is a growing small business based in Southern California. They rethink basketballs as homes for plants, valuing quality and thoughtful curation. I was approached to re-design their logo in my illustrative style. Collaborating with the owner, we created something bright and fresh while paying proper homage to their original design.

New & Improved.
The Drafts
While staying close to the old design as per the client's request, I experimented with different layouts, font styles, plants, and transparencies. My goal was to gently transform the original logo in an illustrative way.
A jpeg of the first iteration of the plntrs. basketball logo. Design ID: "plntrs." is written in dark green centered on top of a curved, orange basketball with white outlines. 3 illustrated, green leafy branches are underneath the writing
A jpeg of the second iteration of the plntrs. basketball logo. Design ID: "plntrs." is written in dark green centered on top of a flat, orange basketball with white outlines. 3 illustrated, green leafy branches are underneath the writing.
A jpeg of the third iteration of the plntrs. basketball logo. Design ID: "plntrs." is written in white top of a curved, shiny, orange basketball with black outlines. An illustration of 4 bright green pilea leaves with smiley faces are underneath the writing
A jpeg of the fourth iteration of the plntrs. basketball logo. Design ID: "plntrs." written in dark green centered on top of an orange outline of a curved basketball. Undeneath the word "plntrs." is 3 liney drawings of green leafy stems.
The Final Logo
The client ended up choosing option no. 3 with a mixture of elements from the other drafts. The final logo was used for marketing purposes across digital and print.
