It is always a challenge to create collateral materials for a small shop with a limited budget. Elina’s Bakery strikes a nice balance between looking professional and put-together, and DIY as needed. Now, if only I could get my hands on one of those chocolate muffins…

Project Description
In the creative process of designing the logo, major role played the following key elements: How elina's bakery is coordinated by one person and particularly from a personal space (home). At the same time we had in our mind that it contains a vision and an ambition, in case elina's bakery develops, to maintain its original value (homemade sweets). Also key was that it is not targeting only in a specific product (cupcakes, which is well-known) but also in more sweets. Ultimately the logo includes all of the above and the way to capture it is as follows:A home oven with a roof. The features of the logo are the recognizable home oven with the buttons and the glass of the facade. That is the core of the design of the house which is closed and protected by a roof. The rounded corners and soft contour make the logo more friendly and work together and consistently with the soft rounded letters. The verbal part of the logo is written in lowercase letters in order to verify the friendliness and immediacy.
Production Lesson(s)
The most challenging thing on building the corporate identity for Elina's bakery was the logo design. The reason for its difficulty, was that it had to seem homemade, small and diy but at the same time corporate with potential for a growing business, maintaining though its initial, which will still be the handmade sweets.
