Coffee and Coconuts

Calligraphy and Logotype Design

I enjoy collaborating with other design firms when they have a need for calligraphy, so I was delighted when Gerri Findley at Go Design asked me to create the lettering for the Coffee and Coconuts logotype. During our first meeting, Gerri explained that she had the basic layout but needed the letters to be hand-drawn. I sent her sketches using pencil, markers and a pointed pen with Sumi ink. After receiving her feedback, I made a few small tweaks to the lettering in Photoshop and then created the vector in Illustrator. Coffee and Coconuts is located in Franklin, Tennessee.
