The brief

Blue Door Books needed an identity that felt like an old shopfront, not a start-up. Two concepts were drawn around a hand-illustrated door and taken all the way through, so the owner could choose between finished brands, not sketches. Each came with a tall serif wordmark, badges for stamps and stickers, a pattern for wrapping paper and bags, and a guide that says plainly what goes where.

What we made

  • Two full concepts, each with its own door illustration
  • Thirteen lockups: vertical, horizontal, circular and oval badges, icon only
  • A restrained palette of Blue Door Blue, Paper Cream and white
  • Pattern sheet for packaging and endpapers
  • Brand guide and a labelled file set for print and web
